Band Of Horses – Solemn Oath lyrics

[Verse 1]
Maybe I should go back, I'm gonna think about that
A little bit more like I did before, miserable and mad
This one kicks like a mule, plays me for a fool, breaks all the rules
It's doing it wrong, but it's moving along, can be very cruel

Right in the door, I'm tired, I'm sore
Nary a hi, no welcome home
Yet the minute I'm up, it's pissing me off
I was yelling so loud last night I thought the cops would surely come

[Verse 2]
Six or six-two-five, should keep me alive, keep me alive
Now do a little turn, careful with your words, everything is fine
But I'm lucky as fuck, it still ain't enough, sick to my gut, having to say
You sit here 'til the coast is clear, I'll send for you one day

[Hook]
I shouldn't repeat it, this sounds ridiculous
And I swore a solemn oath
Never to admit it's the harsh tones of criticism seep in
To my bones

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Look what I did, I'm happy with it
Aren't you happy for me?
I love you so much, I'm gonna throw up, watch my stuff
Hold this for me please

Try not to sound bitter or to fondly remember
The dark times of the past
Like I don't deserve it or I'm not even worth it, I can do
This or that, this or that
