Asshole Lyrics by ​The Lumineers

Automatic

2025

[Verse 1]
And I know what you said to me was wrong
But kindness came and bit my tongue
I must admit, the taste of it is keepin' me awake
You did your best to throw me off the scent
Betrayed yourself on accident
I saw it when you lit the filter of your cigarette
[Pre-Chorus]
And the smoke, it filled your lungs
You left before the sun
[Chorus]
First we ever met
You thought I was an asshole
Probably correct
But I can see your shadow
[Verse 2]
And all the twenty something mannequins
Their hearts are barely broken in
But maybe now I'm just a coward envying the brave
And every time you tried to let me in
Your nails, they barely broke the skin
I must admit, the taste of it is keeping me awake
[Pre-Chorus]
And we passed out on the rug
And you left before the sun
[Chorus]
First we ever met
You thought I was an asshole
Probably correct
But I can see your shadow
[Refrain]
Only for a night
Only for the weekend
Pour another wine
Take me to your deep end
[Chorus]
First we ever met (Silence, oh, the sinner lost his way)
You thought I was an asshole
Probably correct (Livin' for the love of yesterday)
But I can see your shadow ('Cause all alone and all the days)
[Refrain]
Only for the night (You're giving up, you hid away)
Only for the weekend
Pour another wine (Livin' for the love of yesterday)
Take me to your deep end
[Chorus]
First we ever met
You thought I was an asshole
Probably correct
But I still feel your shadow
