A Year in Decline Songtext
von Quiet Company

I guess I should be a little stronger than I am, a little stronger like I promised I′d
be, now I know what doesn't kill you makes you weak.
And I wish I could be a little smarter than I am, a little quicker than I was the last time,
now it seems the ground is frozen to my feet.

I could make this work, I can make this happen, if I wanted to... If I wanted to.
I can make this work, I can make it happen, if I wanted to... If I wanted to.

I can′t sleep, if you're not laying next to me...


Sing a sweeter song. Sing a song of love and faith, sing a song of courage and devotion,
sing it 'til we all remember how it feels.
Celebration songs are filling up our houses, I will love the earth again, I will
know my name again, I will find my place again.

And I could make this work, I can make this happen, if I wanted to... If I wanted to.
I could wake this up, my little sleeping dragon, If I wanted to... if I wanted to.

But I can′t sleep, if you′re not laying next to me.
It's incomplete. There′s plenty quiet, never peace.
So sing it out! Like angels perched on steady shoulders.
And cast them down! Those devils of our lesser natures.
