Yeasayer – Cold Night lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's been one year since you turned your
Self back into dust a temper tantrum
I'll never feel right I'm up at
Night I guess this is life you perish or you survive

[Chorus]
Was there something I could have told you
To carry you through the cold night
Would you hang on my every word
Was there nothing sacred you could hold onto
And carry you through the cold night
That's no way to make yourself heard

[Verse 2]
It's been five years Since you turned your-
Self back into dust, you'll never rust
Now the rest of us are permanently fucked up
I thought things had been looking up your life's a bust

[Chorus]
Was there something I could have told you
(could told you)
To carry you through the cold night
(Cold Night)
Would you hang on my every word
(Hang on my words, hang on my words on my every word)
Was there nothing sacred you could hold onto
(Hold Onto)
And carry you through the cold night
(Cold Night)
That's no way to make yourself heard
(Make yourself heard that's no way to make yourself heard)

[Interlude]

[Outro]
I regret all the times when I didn't respond to you
But the wires might have gotten crossed
And anyway you were already lost
Already Lost...

To my daughter you'll be an ancient memory
If we even mention you at all...
Its too scary, It's too scary
It's too scary

Was there something I could have told you
(On that Cold Night)
[x4]
