Get Big - Okkervil River

Once we get to the end of this song

Then it will begin again

So you said in our bed

I was watching light slip through blinds to find your skin

«So take your medicine and I won’t ask where you’ve been

Live your lost weekend, I know you’ve wanted it.

Get big, little kid

And I can’t say why each day doesn’t quite fit the space we saved for it"

But if that space now demands that you throw up both your hands and call it

quits

«Take your midnight trip.

I know you’ve dreamed of it

Walk your sunset strip, because I think you’ve needed it to get big, little kid

But just remember that our love only got this good

Because of the younger days that you’d like to outstrip

So drink your cup down to the dregs and leave that club on shaking legs

With another guy, but remember: I’m not him

Take your medicine and I won’t ask where you’ve been

Live your lost weekend, I know you’ve wanted it

Get big, little kid

And once we get to the end of this song, then another will begin
