Life

The Avett Brothers · The Carpenter [2012]

One comes of it

Love it, love it

Let go of it

Love comes from it

We're not of this world for long



Faith and promise

Keep me honest

When starvation

Falls upon us

Daylight told me he would be



Gone with cold words

Spoke among hers

Wretched in the tongue of their world

We're not of that world at all

We will never be



Wouldn't it be fine to stand

Behind the words we say

In the best of times

Oh, and you and I know all too well

About the hell in paradise

Right here on Earth



Keep it, use it

Build it, move it

Planes can touch

Our time will prove it

Watch us fly as loud as we can

Let her heartbeat change what I am now



Wouldn't it be fine to stand

Behind the words we say

In the best of times

Oh, and you and I know all too well

About the hell in paradise

Right here on Earth
