Obituary by Wye Oak Lyrics

Writing your obituary long before your life has ended
Remembering you while you're alive instead of waiting till you're dead
And your life can only take you
Where these roads will let you go

You traveled up north to find that everything was not so right
There is nothing wrong with wanting [?], some [?] with the fire
And your friends will always love you
But you have to teach yourself to stay alive

We could see the world unfurl if we could learn to walk on water
We could hold hands under bridges, you would be the star
Because the cars can only take you
Where the roads will let you go

Open up your eyes while we're in bed to see that I'm still breathing
I could never bear to feel your eyes on me at night let in the air
If you're here, then I am breathing
If you're here, then I am breathing

La la la, la la la
La la la, la la la
