Blood Bank

Bon Iver · Blood Bank [2009]

Well I met you at the blood bank

We were looking at the bags

Wondering if any of the colors

Matched any of the names we knew on the tags



You said "see look thats yours!

Stacked on top with your brother's

See how the resemble one another

Even in their plastic little covers"



And I said I know it well



That secret that you knew

But don't know how to tell

It fucks with your honor

And it teases your head

But you know that its good girl

Cos its running you with red



Then the snow started falling

We were stuck out in your car

You were rubbing both of my hands

Chewing on a candy bar



You said "'aint this just like the present

To be showing up like this"

AS a moon waned to crescent

We started to kiss



And I said I know it well



That secret that we know

That we don't know how to tell

I'm in love with your honor

I'm in love with your cheeks

What's that noise up the stairs babe?

Is that Christmas morning creaks?



And I said I know it well

I know it well ...
