Testo It Ends With A Fall Okkervil River
Wish I could remember
Why it mattered to me.
It doesnât matter to me.
It doesnât matter to me
Anymore.
Now that youâre
Feeling fine,
Iâll admit that â though
I know itâs coming down,
And see it shattering me
- it doesnât matter to me,
And Iâm not sadder for
Seeing it come.
Iâm not going to run.
I will just come
When I am called.
You want to cut me off
Because I took too much,
But donât leave me alone
Take off your scarves,
Your winter coat.
The nightâs too cold.
When we met I should have said
Youâre like a sister to me,
How all that kiss her just seem
Like puny suitors I can see through,
How none will do,
No not for you,
How it might as well just be us two.
And when I pulled you by the jacket
From the clattering street,
You started flattering me,
You started saying I was so strong.
String me along,
But I canât become
All that Iâm called.
And I canât claim to know
What makes love die or grow,
But I can still take control
And so refuse to just go home,
Back down the hall.
And as I crawl,
As finally all
The false confetti blooms
Up in this attic room,
Iâm going make my stand.
I want to see both of your hands
Put down the phone.
I wonât let you go,
Although
The moment stole
My self-control
From us all
And now it can only end
End with a fall.
