Adrianne Lenker - Paul lyrics

[Verse 1] Oh the last time I saw Paul I was horrible and almost let him in But I stopped and caught the wall And my mouth got dry so all I did was take him for a spin Yeah we hopped inside my car And I drove in circles 'round the freight train yard And he turned the headlights off Then he pulled the bottle out Then he showed me what was love [Chorus 1] I'll be your morning bright goodnight shadow machine I'll be your record player baby if you know what I mean I'll be your real tough cookie with the whiskey breath I'll be a k**er and a thriller and the cause of our d**h [Verse 2] In the blossom of the months I was sure that I'd get driven off with thought So I swallowed all of it As I realized there was no one who could kiss away my sh** [Chorus 1] I'll be your morning bright goodnight shadow machine I'll be your record player baby if you know what I mean I'll be your real tough cookie with the whiskey breath I'll be a k**er and a thriller and the cause of our d**h [Verse 3] Paul, I know you said that you'd take me any way I came or went But I'll push you from my brain See, you're gentle baby I couldn't stay, I'd only bring you pain [Chorus 2] I was your starry-eyed lover and the one that you saw I was your hurricane rider and the woman you'd call We were just two moonshiners on the cusp of a breath And I've been burning for you baby since the minute I left
