Everyone You Love

from Racoon by Straight White Teeth

lyrics

With my hands untied
I can bend the sky and climb up
From up here, I watch as all the years pass by

The past won’t die
But if we bury it’ll grow up
Into a garden in the field outside

Met you underneath the diving board
Told me things I’d never heard before
Sold me love that I still cannot afford
Took me over that bridge and helped me start again

I need a purpose
A better war
To turn the tables
Until my arms get sore

Let’s send a message
Let’s say the truth
The world is dying
Even me and you

It’s a curse to lie
And believe the words that spill out
Deluge or drip the truth will keep you dry

With my drink held high
I toast to every sellout
We’re dime a dozen but at least we’re dry

Don’t give me perfect
Don’t give me true
Just send a message
All I need is proof

That something knows me
That life is real
A flood is coming
We’d better climb that hill
