She Would Look for Me - Okkervil River

All the girls around me said you were gonna be there

Seattle moonlight motel, a rattlesnake the evening

I smelled it in the wind, I can taste it in a cocktail

She’ll call me, I know she will look for me

All the air that drowned me, it said a little secret

A sunken giant sleeps off the coast of California

Go down the blue ravine where the way is steep and broken

She’ll call me, I know she will look for me

And they say that it doesn’t look good

They say that it doesn’t look good for me

Like if I were a knight I’d hallucinate a movie

My CineColor baby, the lace sticks to your body

Battlefields of death fought for palaces of money

The song had my heart racing, the wine got my head heavy

My sword became so bloody, I don’t know what I’ve done

Would you see me my love, would you wait for me?

Would you stand by the high prison gate for me?

Well they tell me it doesn’t look great

And they say that it doesn’t look great for me

Like a breath of fall on your weekend, I’m high

I said «you know it’s great to be worth it or to fall behind

Washed away

Washed away

Washed away»

Oh, the breath escapes me, I’m shaking like a lost thing

Invaded by your face, overtaken by a feeling

I saw the sky, it’s spinning, I heard the branches snapping

She’ll call me, I know she would look for me

And they say that it doesn’t look good

Well they say that it doesn’t look good for me
