Young Jesus - David lyrics

[Verse 1] David used to be creative Seeing screens in all our faces Talking like a kid Scorcese Making films of kids and pavement Summer'd always come around We'd talk about our dreams We'd talk about the way that running Gives a respite from depression [Pre-Chorus] But I'm not sayin' I'm the man To write you a letter Anonymous Tonight Turnin' tables to shield you from our guns [Chorus] Some things flutter out of focus David's changing frame by frame Hoping Eloise will notice But the film's dissolving into grain [Verse 2] David used to be creative Now he's trading pills and papers Hanging out at burn out stables Coming down half Cain, half Abel Eloise, she broke his heart She moved to Tennessee She moved to somewhere where the climate Won't give way to more regression [Pre-Chorus, Chorus] [Breakdown] Now I'm lying in the backyard With my feet in the air And I'm thinking about David But I just can't seem to care Now David he's been dying He's been drinking alone Well I'm not quite the friend You thought I was all along
