The Walkmen - I Lost You lyrics

Drive on, drive on The highway bright and long The river's overflowing The house's burning down Drive on, drive on The engines on the lawn We kiss goodbye and drink up Some hours before the dawn We kiss goodbye and drink up I'll miss you when you're gone So throw me a line Throw me a line My heart's underneath Aside on our feet The windows are shaking And so are my bones The world's going round Throw me a rope A trumpet and a trombone Still echoing in the hall And bells ringing out at dawn So hang on to me Hang on to me The world's going round And time's cutting out The headlights are swinging all over the lawn So throw me a rope Throw me a rope I knew you when I was young The loveliest girl in town I wish you were still around Hey I waited a long time All for you I waited a long time I lost you I was sleeping in the backseat When I got home I was finally reminded I lost you
