Caribou

Of pictures and of promises, an arrow drawn in time 
That's pointing to me standing here with your words on my mind

And every night I dream of you while lying in my bed
And ever since I was a boy, keeps running through my head

(Promises, promises, promises, promises)

And when we meet, my mind is making promises of you
And when you go, I know you know it breaks my heart in two


 


Taking it slow, saving up she
Before she know it, all I ask before she goes home
She's tired of cryin and sick of his lies
She's suffered him for far too many years of her life

Feeling low, and scared that he'll say
Do you know how overtime you drove her away
Saving up to, the day when she goes
The day that she stands up
for everything that she chose

(She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what shes gonna say)


Saving up for, the day when she goes
The day that she stands up
For everything that she chose
Caribou Odessa lyrics found on
Turn around the life she let him siphon away

And I've been with you, for all of these years
Tell you what I've got to show for all of my tears
The times you hurt me, and treated me wrong
Something had to give to stop this thing from going on

(She can say, she can say, she can say
She can say, she can say, she can say
Who knows what shes gonna say)


She's tired of crying, and sick of his lies
She's suffered him for far too many years of her life
Feeling low, and scared that he'll say
Do you know how overtime you drove her away
