Everlasting Arms

Vampire Weekend · Modern Vampires Of The City [2013]

I took your council and came to ruin

Leave me to myself, leave me to myself

I took your council and came to ruin

Leave me to myself, lead 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 a chandelier

That's going down



I thought it over, and drew the curtain

Leave me to my cell, leave me to my cell

I hummed the Dies Irae as you played the Hallelujah

Leave me to my cell, leave me to my cell



If you'd been made to serve a master

You be frightened by the open hand, frightened by the hand

Could I have been made to serve a master

When I'm never gonna understand, never understand



Hold me in your everlasting arms

Looked up full of fear, trapped beneath the chandelier

That's going down

Hold me in your everlasting arms

Looked up full of fear, trapped beneath the chandelier

That's going down

Hold me in your everlasting arms
