Lyrics

[Extended Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Rylan, you should try to get some sun You remind me of everyone Rylan, did you break your mother's heart? Every time you tried to play your part [Chorus] Is it easy to keep so quiet? Everybody loves a quiet child Underwater, you think you're free If you wanna be alone, come with me [Verse 2] Rylan, we can take the quick way out We can turn blank white in a blank white house Say that you're a pervert, you're a vulture Don't you wanna be popular culture? [Chorus] Is it easy to keep so quiet? Everybody loves a quiet child Underwater, you're almost free If you wanna be alone, come with me Is it easy to live inside yourself? All the little kids are high and hazy Everybody's got nowhere to go Everybody wants to be amazing [Bridge] Rylan, California's rotten Dress light blue to be forgotten Eat your pearls on Sunday morning Keep the conversations boring Stay with me among the strangers Change your mind and nothing changes Don't let show any emotion When you climb into the ocean [Chorus] Is it easy to keep so quiet? Everybody loves a quiet child Underwater, you think you're free If you wanna be alone, come with me Is it easy to live inside yourself? All the little kids are high and hazy Everybody's got nowhere to go Everybody wants to be amazing [Outro] Rylan, you should try to get some sun You remind me of everyone Rylan, you should try to get some sun [Spoken: Matt Berninger, Aaron Dessner, Bryce Dessner] Aaron and I have had a long going debate about the origin of, the inspiration for this song and it's been going on for years And I just, a couple nights ago, realized he was write I didn't realize there was actually a debate going on In my head He's been having this debate with himself He's like "When did Aaron write this song?" but actually, Bryce wrote it Oh, intéressante, which is French for interesting He was insulting us in French the other night, he's gonna bring that back Wait, how is trying to figure out how to say the word Phoebe Bridgers in French Uh, just, can you He can't even say the openers' names in French He couldn't say Phoebe Bridgers, which is, Phoebe's the fucking same How do you say Big Thief in French?
