Also Frightened Lyrics by Animal Collective

Merriweather Post Pavilion

2009

[Verse 1]
If they should run into the dark
Well we can't sweat
One takes one by the hand
Let them crawl into the logs
Let damp ground change the hue on their pants
Excited and screamin' their voices grow wild
And rise with the birds mating up in the pines
Down to puddles that breathe, covered by leaves
With mud, they'll make prints on their backs
[Chorus]
Will it be just like they're dreaming?
Will it be just like I'm dreaming?
Will it be just like they're dreaming?
Will it be just like I'm dreaming?
[Verse 2]
If they're awake 'til the dawn
Well, we won't fret that they don't have our eye
The ghosts came crowding around
And then I woke, you slept there on your side
From our window, two lanterns draw signs on the night
And light our two shadows, I watch with delight
Will I want them to be who they will be
Or to be more like their dad?
[Chorus]
Will it be just like they're dreaming?
Will it be just like I'm dreaming?
Will it be just like they're dreaming?
Will it be just like I'm dreaming?
[Bridge]
When influence is threatened
Maybe I should let them
Maybe we should let them
And I have a question
Are you also frightened?
Are you also frightened?
Are you also frightened?
Are you also frightened?
Are you also frightened?
Are you also frightened?
Are you also frightened?
Are you also frightened?
[Chorus 2]
No one should call you a dreamer
No one should call you a dreamer
No one should call you a dreamer
No one should call you a dreamer
