Merge Records - Barely There lyrics

[Verse 1] When the floods of August Tore right through this town We wondered what would be revealed And what dreams would drown Now I see you made it And you heard I made it, too But the sane washed away from our foundations In fact you can see right through [Chorus] And now we're barely there Oh, we're barely there Oh yeah, we're barely there You can squint or you can stare But we're barely there [Verse 2] Now the paths we once walked They're all rocks and vines Holding tight to what they've got Purchase beneath these pines Now I tried holding tight to you But you slipped away in time Faded like this road trip photo From 1989 [Chorus] And now we're barely there Oh, we're barely there Oh yeah, we're barely there Once you loved me like a dare Now we're barely there [Outro] And now we're barely there Oh we're barely there You can see us through the glare But we're barely there Oh, we're barely there Now we're barely there Like a phantom or a flare But we were solid once, I swear Now you hardly have to care 'Cause we're barely there
