Mitski - Broken Necks lyrics

[Verse 1] When I had a million arms I would wrap them around all your body parts Try to keep away all that could do you harm Try to keep out sickness and keep you warm But every time the going got tough one by one they were falling off [Chorus x4] While you were breaking your neck trying to keep your head up I was breaking my neck just to stick it out for you [Verse 2] And I know we'd hang out everyday if I wasn't 100 miles away From our tadpoles gathering in the creek And our baby birds learning how to shriek All the eagles I still haven't seen and the trees proudly alive and green I could swear they are there just for you and me Whether friends or in love there's an indisputable beauty [Chorus x4] [Verse 3] If the distance between us grows too strong I would saturate silence with your songs 'Cause you'd rub my back 'til the skin smoothed out Smoother than the gla** that the sea spits out And don't forget to take your shirt off, run into the water The birds are singing louder and the days are getting longer Open up your hands and accept that this has ended "Nothing in this world is holier than friendship"
