The Avett Brothers - Die Then Grow lyrics

rate me

Can you say your name to me and put mine after yours?

Can we build a house of glass without windows or doors?

Will you learn to love yourself the way I know you should?

Can we find the courage there to call our friendship good?

Call it good, call it good

[Chorus]

Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you

Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you

Don’t let romance obeding hearts

Change what we came to do

Anita, my Anita, I was born to follow you

The world is closing in on me, I think it’s time I go

And with your sad eyes you taught me, things I didn’t know

And my heart broke down about a there and I wish I let it show

I listen as you said to me, you’d rather die then grow

Die then grow, die then grow

[Chorus]

So watched as those who ask for love, demanding some respect

Became the last in line that have what they come to expect

As what nobody taught them as they so rightly deserved

And they hums of their misfortune heat, the hardest lesson learned

Lesson learned, lesson learned

[Chorus]

To watch us fall, is why they came

And fall we did to the call of the highway

Don’t go home, don’t look ahead

Don’t look behind, everything we were is dead

Then a well of hope and talents spring and I caught the glimpse of life

And I drank from there as the colors rang out loudly from your eyes

[Chorus]

Die then grow, die then grow

Die then grow, die then grow

[Piano solo]
