Tha Arcade Fire Windowsill Down To Earth Repair
Anyway.
I know you're writing a letter to me right now. I know it probably won't be that revealing. But hey, I should know by now, times are changing fast and we like to feel more innocent than we really are. We'd like to fly, but we choose unwisely. We protect ourselves and deal with time as if 40 years had passed. We're not impermeable. I know I can't be. I haven't been. But will I?
Should I? Should I really work on a nice letter? Words? By the time we met, times had already changed, babe. Shouldn't we find another way to get our names signed? Probably not. But the truth is: life is changing faster, don't know what's pure and what's not, don't know what my true heart calls for, and if words can suit him still, knowing they never really did.
We Used To Wait
I used to write, I used to write letters I used to sign my name, I used to sleep at night, Before the flashing lights settled deep in my brain But by the time we met By the time we met the times had already changed So I never wrote a letter I never took my true heart I never wrote it down So when the lights cut out I was left standing in the wilderness downtown Now our lives are changing fast Now our lives are changing fast Hope that something pure can last Hope that something pure can last It seems strange How we used to wait for letters to arrive But what's stranger still Is how something so small can keep you alive We used to wait We used to waste hours just walking around We used to wait All those wasted lives in the wilderness downtown Oh we used to wait Oh we used to wait Oh we used to wait Sometimes it never came (Oh we used to wait) Sometimes it never came (Oh we used to wait) Still moving through the pain (Oh) I'm gonna write a letter to my true love I'm gonna sign my name Like a patient on a table I wanna walk again gonna move through the pain Now our lives are changing fast Now our lives are changing fast Hope that something pure can last Hope that something pure can last Oh we used to wait Oh we used to wait Oh we used to wait Sometimes it never came (Oh we used to wait) Sometimes it never came (Oh we used to wait) Still moving through the pain We used to wait for it We used to wait for it Now we're screaming sing the chorus again We used to wait for it We used to wait for it Now we're screaming sing the chorus again I used to wait for it I used to wait for it Hear my voice screaming sing the chorus again
