Shins, The - Won One Too Many Fights текст песни

The gutter may profess its love

Then hollow in its segregations

But there are just so many eyes

You are different



And a stronger girl would brush this off in flight

Never giving more than a frowning hour

But you have let your heart descide

Loss has conquered you



And you won one too many fights

Wearing many hats everytime

But you wont win here tonight



You've made it through the direst of straits alright

Can you help it if plain love now seems less interesting?

That you havent changed an ounce in my eyes

And I can not lecture you



Does anything i say seem relveant at all?

You've been at the helms since you were just five

And I can not claim to be more than a passenger



Well, you won one too many fights

Wearing all of your clothes at the same time

And you wont end here tonight

Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her this time

This time



Just a moment or two from now

Not a mind will retain even our tricks

For the thoughts that we struggled to tell

And now our stack of cards just fell



To settle this for once and for all

The light no longer shows the cracks around your door

And I have no lantern to light your way home tonight



You are not some saint who's above

When I need a stroll through the flowers

You've got so much more to dream up

Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her this time

This time, this time
