Vampire Weekend Everlasting Arms lyrics

I took your counsel and came to ruin
Leave me to myself, leave me to myself
I took your counsel and came to ruin
Leave me to myself, leave me to myself

Oh I was made to live without you
But I'm never gonna understand, never understand
Oh I was born to live without you
But I'm never gonna understand, never understand

Hold me in your everlasting arms
Looked up full of fear, trapped beneath the chandelier
It's going down

I thought it over and drew the curtain
Leave me to myself, leave me to myself
I hummed the Dies Irae and you prayed the Hallelujah
Leave me to myself, don't leave me in my cell


If you've been made to serve the master
You'd be frightened by the open night, frightened by the hand
Could I have been made to serve a master
Well I'm never gonna understand, never understand

Hold me in your everlasting arms
Looked up full of fear, trapped beneath the chandelier
It's going down
Hold me in your everlasting arms
Looked up full of fear, trapped beneath the chandelier
It's going down

Hold me in your everlasting arms
