Grizzly Bear - gun-shy lyrics

rate me

The sky keeps staring at me

Frozen in my tracks

(Nothing else to see)

And when I move my face left

You're always standing there

(A shadow I can't see)

And even then I can't trace

You're walking away

I put my ears to the ground

Always pushing down

(Nothing I can hear)

I found the worst half in me

We're cut off at the knees

(Can't even take a stand)

Against your words and beliefs

We didn't wanna freeze

(All of the years, leaving me here

Gun-shy)

I don't want to say it all again (the pain, losing my aim)

Never seem to see

(And why?) Do I always feel it all the same

The blisters in my eyes

(Recite) A guide that has only led me stray

And even as I limp (you smile)

The cold keeps tearing at me

Slowing down my blood

(Unable to speak)

I left my mind long ago

Choosing some false

(Always letting go)

And when I try to face you

You're walking away

(All of the years, leaving me here

Gun-shy)

I don't want to say it all again (the pain, losing my aim)

Never seem to see

(And why?) Do I always feel it all the same

The blisters in my eyes

(Recite) A guide that has only led me stray

And even as I limp (you smile)
