Live to Tell the Tale Lyrics by Passion Pit

Chunk of Change

2008

[Verse 1]
This is the room where we always dreamed of grass and splendid evenings
Emitting frequencies, lost between the leaves and things
And I held on brightly, crashing quietly
Feeling mountains rising out of make-believe seas, creating typhoons
Of feelings not easily made without need
[Hook]
God bless that smile on your face
God bless the seeds in the ground
God bless my family's keen gaze
Oh, I know
That whatever happens to you
Whatever happens to me
I hope that I'll fall asleep
Knowing that you'll always be
The story with no ending
[Verse 2]
The whole slew blossomed beautifully
And I was beside myself
So I gave into your love
As you rapturously commanded
And this is like I have always dreamed:
Cobblestone and dusty feet
That's the way it should always be
Head over heels and deftly
Wonderful and healthy
[Hook]
God bless that smile on your face
God bless the seeds in the ground
God bless my family's keen gaze
Oh, I know
That whatever happens to you
Whatever happens to me
I hope that I'll fall asleep
Knowing that you'll always be
The story with no ending
[Bridge]
I never thought you were here
You've never left me, have you?
You've never left me at all
Not once, and
I'm sorry I'm such a boor
I'm sorry I am so hard
I swear to God, I'll be good
From now on, and
[Hook] x2
God bless that smile on your face
God bless the seeds in the ground
God bless my family's keen gaze
Oh, I know
That whatever happens to you
Whatever happens to me
I hope that I'll fall asleep
Knowing that you'll always be
The story with no ending
