Sufjan Stevens - Impossible Soul lyrics

rate me

Ooh. Woman, tell me what you want

And I'll calm down without bleeding out

With a broken heart that you stabbed for an hour

Woman, too, I was freaking out because I want you to know

My beloved, you are the lover of my impossible soul

And woman, too, promise you'll stay and put off all your woes

I was wigging out, too much worry, I could not get you at all

And you said what you want, you would laugh it off

But I know you won't go, not for any less

Must you write it off for the impossible soul

And I was in a dream, I was gone away without you, but not too slow

Lest I put it off, 'for I put it right for the impossible soul

And all I couldn't sing, I would say it all my life, to you, if I could get you at all

Don't be a wreck, trying to be something that I wasn't at all

Seems I got it wrong, I was chasing after something that was gone

To the black of night, now I know it's not what I wanted at all

And you said something like, "All you want is all the world for yourself"

But all I want is the perfect love, though I know it's small, I want love for us all

And all I couldn't sing, I would say it all my life, to you, if I could get you at all

Oh, oh oh oh, trying to be something that I wasn't at all

Do you want to be afraid?

Do you want to be afraid?

For life in the cage where courage's mate runs deep in the wake

For the scariest things are not half as enslaved

Don't be distracted, don't be distracted

Do you want to be alone?

Do you want to be alone?

For life is instead on righteousness led

The seed and the hail, of impossible ? are an interesting ?

Don't be distracted, don't be distracted

Do you want to love me more?

Do you want to love me more?

For love is the breath

If water and wind is cursed by the same thing that nurtured its shame

Is it worth all the work?

Don't be distracted, don't be distracted

Have you failed to feel delight?

Have you failed to feel delight?

Instead of the love, lived tired and lost, have you left it at last

Where it floundered its death with the language of ghosts?

Don't be distracted, don't be distracted

Do you want to be afraid?

Do you want to be afraid?

For life in the cage where where courage's mate runs deep in the wake

For the scariest things are not half as enslaved

Don't be distracted, don't be distracted
