Crack‐Up Songtext
von Fleet Foxes

So the mind won′t lie
And the arm won't set
And the bright red eye isn′t off you yet
So the words won't come
And the hand won't touch
And a midnight sun doesn′t look like much
As an iris contracts, facing the day
I can tell you′ve cracked
Like a china plate


When the world insists
That the false is so
With a philippic as Cicero
The tighter the fist
The looser the sand

If I don't resist
Will I understand?
Ooh, ooh, ooh

All things change
Dividing tides far as I can see
All fades through but I′ve lived with you, as Ylajali

All I see, dividing tides
Rising over me
Ooh, wait
Oh, will you wait?

You, alive
You, alive
You, alive
