Could I Be Lyrics by Sylvan Esso

Sylvan Esso (10 Year Anniversary Edition)

2014

[Produced by Sylvan Esso]
I'm covered in soot
We’re running for gondolas
And when I come home again my arms will wrap around my friends
When I come home again my arms will wrap around my friends
I'm covered in soot
I'm covered in skin
And when I go to leave again, I’ll wear the clothes you put me in
And when I go to leave again, I'll wear the clothes you put me in
Could I be coming home with the waves rolling back?
Could I be coming home with the waves rolling back?
Could I be coming home with the waves rolling back?
Could I be coming home with the waves rolling back?
Oh why?
Oh, why did I go outside with the bitches on the trail?
Oh, why?
Oh, why did I go?
I don't know
Only thing I can think to say is
Get on the train, get on the train
And ride it 'til you come, ride it 'til you come
Get on the train, get on the train
And ride it 'til you come, ride it 'til you come
Like the bass child
Like the river wild
Like the tide coming in again
We're driving in the van
Through dotted lines we’re making friends
With all the other bands
Driving to make their fortunes
Could I be coming home with the waves rolling back?
Could I be coming home with the waves rolling back?
Could I be coming home with the waves rolling back?
Could be coming home
We’re chasing the glow
A pack of wolves
We're running from home to home
Blindly searching for what we know
A dream created from the videos
Our feet are getting raw
But our mouths still quietly
Sing the song
Keeping time to piston rods
We’re feeding ourselves on steam exhaust
Oh, why?
Oh, why do I run like the wolf each time?
My roots peak out from tender foot
Oh, why?
Oh, why, can't I just kiss my lips enough?
Be happy with just making love
Could I be, could I be, could be
Oh, why?
Oh, why?
Did I go outside with the bitches on the trail?
Oh, why?
Oh, why?
Did I go?
I don't know only thing I can think to say is
Get on the train
Get on the train
And ride it 'til you come
Ride it ’til you come
Or could I just
Get on the train (Oh, why)
Get on the train
And ride it 'til you come
Ride it 'til you come
Get on the train (Oh, why)
Get on the train
And ride it 'til you come
Ride it 'til you come
Get on the train (Oh, why)
Get on the train
And ride it 'til you come
Ride it 'til you come
