lyrics

A black cat crossed the road the other day
So I crossed my heart, pumped the brakes, and watched it run away
A flock of swallows tried to block my path
Swooping down on me trying to attack

What did I say to you
To make you come unglued?
Casting curses as a muse
Is more than a character flaw

All in all there’s bound to be a better way
to break this thing with you
All in all I’d rather not hesitate
to split these chains in two
In the back of your mind I hope that you’ll find
Ruins of regret
And in the back of my head I wish you were dead
More than words can say

Well I remember running circles in the backyard
Blue lightsaber strapped to my side
And I’ve spent many-a-moons kicking ass and taking names
From behind enemy lines

I’ve sewn the seeds of fate
All actions and mistakes
Type-cast of what you hate
I’m more than a character flaw
All in all there’s bound to be a better way
to break this thing with you
All in all I’d rather not hesitate
to split these chains in two
In the back of your mind I know that you’ll find
Ruins of regret
And in the back of my head I wish you were dead
More than words can say

Ohhhhhh? Ohhhhh..

about

Creature Comfort Nashville, Tennessee

Think of it as Fleet Foxes for people who grew up bailing hay, or your favorite indie record—if that record were scattered, smothered, and covered, of course.
