The Walkmen I Lost You lyrics

Drive on, drive on the highway bright and long
The river's overflowing, the house's burning down
Drive on, drive on the engine's on the lawn
We kiss goodbye and drink up some hours before the dawn
We kiss goodbye and drank up, I'll miss you when you're gone

So throw me a line, throw me a line
My heart's underneath, aside on our feet
The windows are shaking and so are my bones
The world's going round, throw me a rope

A trumpet and a trombone still echoing in the hall
And bells ringing out at dawn

So hang onto me, hang onto me

The world's going round and time's coming round
The headlights are swinging all over the lawn
So throw me a rope, throw me a rope

I knew you when I was young, the loveliest girl in town
I wish you were still around

I waited a long time, oh for you
I waited a long time, I lost you
I was sleeping in the backseat when I got home
I was finally reminded I lost you
