David & The Citizens - Let's Not Fall Apart lyrics

rate me

They called me up to see if I had heard

about the accident

the accident of a girl sick with the world

This isn't news, it's all old stuff

underneath and above us

one arrives and one takes off

but Let's Not Fall Apart!

oh, silence, my heart

all the things I did with you and all the

things we'll never do

I saw the sun come up/fall down

the days were fast, but time

was much too slow

some pretty concrete-sky

was blackening my eyes

I stood here and I tried to scream, but what came out

well, not much of the things I meant to do

with my life

efficiency above all

get yourself free by following a plot

you wake & eat & sleep & wake until it's much too late

now finally I see

how easy it would be

to get the world off of me

and get the spies out from the windows

and lift myself above the rooftops

to leave and to never return

I waited my whole life for this answer

all the things I did with you and all the

things we'll never do

I saw the sun come up/fall down

the days were fast, but time

was much too slow
