The Avett Brothers - Slight Figure Of Speech текст песни

They say you gotta lose a couple fights to win
It's hard to tell from where I'm sitting
They say that this is where the fun begins
Guess it's time that I was quitting

A slight figure of speech
I cut my chest wide open
They come and watch us bleed
Is it all like I was hoping now

They said "I hope that you will never change"
I went and cut my hair
They said "Don't take your business to the big town"
I bought us tickets there

A slight figure of speech
I cut my chest wide open
They come and watch us bleed
Is it all like I was hoping now

[rap]

A jet plane and a big idea
I jump over the seat
What Ifs hot on my trail
But they can't catch me, no

A slight figure of speech
I cut my chest wide open
They come and watch us bleed
Is it all like I was hoping now
