jeff tweedy - having been is no way to be lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
oh, i was naive
my shoes were untied
in heaven everything is just fine
but the phones are dead
and so is the light
and so are you
and, honey, so am i
but the earth still turns
for the unconcerned
days p-ss below like train windows
i was a sapling tree
the birds looked like me
oh, i begged my nerves to kick me something new

[chorus 1]
from time to time
i’d watch you sleep
oh, i wonder how much freedom we can dream
and i’m sorry when you wake up to me

[verse 2]
i just got tired
shining steady like a spider web’s an empty stage
now people say
what drugs did you take
and why don’t you start taking them again?
but they’re not my friends
and if i was dead
what difference would it ever make to them
if i got high?

[chorus 2]
from time to time
oh, i wonder how much freedom you would need
and i’d be sorry when you wake up to me

[verse 3]
i’m reaching out to you
i’m writing all the time
i don’t see deep but i see far and wide
i see dead trees
but the roots have leaves
just because i can’t describe it doesn’t mean i shouldn’t try
to untwist the knife
to unmake my mind
having been is no way to be alive

[chorus 3]
and i’m alive
when i watch you sleep
i wonder how much freedom we need
and i’m here when you wake up to me
and i’m still here when you wake up to me
