Let’s Get Out of the Romance

Lyrics

[verse: Phil Elverum] So I managed to make myself cold Just like I wanted to So I managed to be buried in snow I thought that wearing white Would make me good Bring out my eyes I thought virtue could be mine We already know that there's no rock To buy the things we need to live So we must open our mouths And close our eyes, and tilt back our heads And lift up our arms Traveling north to winter nights Was how I planned on getting pure And frozen white, soft and snakey northern lights I stood, and yes, I managed To wash my face there in the snow Clean the crud from my eyes And gasp and see dawn The first rays of light coming over the hill Clearly belted out.. Let's get out of the romance Let's get out of the romance But still I had my hopes Of how picturesque I would be Watching the sunrise, so the sun surprised Rose on the other side. I gasped I turned, re-opened my eyes And felt size rise To clear and towering words I sang along... [chorus: Phil Elverum and SINGERS] Let's get out of the romance Let's get out of the romance Let's get out of the romance Let's get out of the romance Let's get out of the romance All the sweetness in the world just looks gross in that disguise Let's get out of the romance Let's get out of the romance Let's get out of the romance Let's get out of the romance All the sweetness in the world just looks gross in that disguise Let's get out of the romance Let's get out of the romance Let's get out of the romance There's only one way Let's get out of the romance Let's get out of the romance Say "Goodbye" and "No" Let's get out of the romance Let's get out of the romance Forget it Let's get out of the romance Let's get out of the romance Forget sacred paths Let's get out of the romance Forget scenic views Let's get out of the romance Forget, forget, forget, forget truths Let's get out of the romance Let's get out of the romance Forget golden friendships Let's get out of the romance Forget [?] Let's get out of the romance Forget your own name Let's get out of the romance Forget [?] Let's get out of the romance Forget [?] Let's get out of the romance Let's get out of the romance All the sweetness in the world just looks gross in that disguise Let's get out of the romance Let's get out of the romance [outro: Phil Elverum and SINGERS] Let's get out of the romance Let's get out of the romance On and on Let's get out of the romance On and on Let's get out of the romance This is it Let's get out of the romance This is what it's like Let's get out of the romance Let's get out of the romance Let's get out of the romance Let's get out of the romance
