Lyrics
[Spoken: Matt Berninger] About the weather [Verse 1] Gold light breaks behind the houses I don't see what's strange about this Tiny bubbles hang above me It's a sign that someone loves me I can hardly stand up right I hit my head upon the light I have faith but don't believe it It's not there enough to leave it [Pre-Chorus] Everything I love is on the table Everything I love is out to sea [Verse 2] I have only two emotions Careful fear and dead devotion I can't get the balance right With all my marblеs in the fight I see all the ones I wеnt for All the things I had it in for I won't cry until I hear 'Cause I was not supposed to be here [Pre-Chorus] Everything I love is on the table Everything I love is out to sea [Chorus] I'm not alone I'll never be And to the bone I'm evergreen [Verse 3] I'm tired, I'm freezing, I'm dumb When it gets so late I forget everyone I need somewhere to stay I don't think anybody I know is awake Calm down, it's alright Keep my arms the rest of the night When they ask, what do I see? I say a bright, white, beautiful heaven hanging over me [Bridge] Ah Ah-ah-ah-ah [Chorus] I'm not alone I'll never be And to the bone I'm evergreen And if you want (Dead seriously) To see me cry (Don't swallow the cap) Play "Let It Be" (Pat yourself on the back) Or "Nevermind" (Dead seriously) [Verse 4] Is it time to leave? Is it time to think about What I wanna say to the girls at the door? I need somewhere to be But I can't get around the river in front of me Calm down, it's alright Leave my arms the rest of the night When they ask, what do I see? I say a bright, white, beautiful heaven hanging over me [Bridge] Ah Ah-ah-ah-ah [Chorus] I'm not alone (Dead seriously) I'll never be (Don't swallow the cap) And to the bone (Pat yourself on the back) I'm evergreen (Dead seriously) And if you want (Dead seriously) To see me cry (Don't swallow the cap) Play "Let It Be" (Pat yourself on the back) Or "Nevermind" (Dead seriously) [Audience Clapping] [Spoken: Matt Berninger, Aaron Dessner] Thank you so much Thank you very much We're taping this, these shows In an old school original style With equipment from 1972 that was used here, all the same and I can't remember the shhh details I'll tell you tomorrow We found out today that one of our old friends from Cincinnati, Ohio passed away yesterday, Jimmy He was a good friend of Bryce and Bryan and I so this is for Jimmy I have, sorry to pile on, but a dear friend, also a dear friend of a mother of one of my best friends also died two days ago So these shows are for the friends we've lost Just, just stay close and reach out to your friends This is for those guys
