Sharon Van Etten - Serpents lyrics

rate me

It was a close call,

Sitting in the back of the room with the boy …get on

But they didn’t know,

Closing on my back, I feel safe at times

Certain emblems tell me it’s time

Serpents in my mind, looking for your cries

Everything changes

I don’t want life to this time

You enjoy sucking on dreams,

so I will fall asleep

with someone other than you,

I had a thought, you would take me

Seriously and listen up

Serpents in my mind,

I am searching for your cries

Everything changes, in time you'll stay, frozen in time

…ing girls, controlling minds

You hold the mirror, to everybody else

Serpents in my mind, trying to forgive

Your cries

Everyone changes, in time

I hope he changes, this time.
