Okkervil River - Wake And Be Fine lyrics

Someone said to me, "I'll come into your dream And speak it to you." I already knew I found her in an attic where, dramatically, she leaned in to me And she whispered these lines: "Wake and be fine You've still got time to wake and be fine." Embracers meet with more embracers in the street Say, "Hold me, dear stranger. Grab on to me We're carrying our years around us, or they're chasing down us We're all here at the same time Can we wake and be fine? We've still got time to wake and be fine Villains on the creep and k**ers in the crowd Are carving apart our childhood house Lovers in their sheets, and dreaming lovers sweetly Turn in their sleep all under sunbeams Everybody's crashing, running, calling out the coming Of things they kind of can see Someone said to me, "It's just a dream. Why don't you wake up and you'll see? It's fine." In those miles racing over endless fields of snow You already heard, you already know The rescue party finally lost their hearts And then they shattered their bones, and died all alone Ships all float from beaches by themselves Away from hot afternoons. (Goodbye, you balloons!) Adrift above indifferent clouds. Our hearts are crashing loudly On some rocks where the gulls whine to wake and be fine You've still got time to wake and be fine, oh Be fine Be fine Be fine Be fine
