The Space Between

You cannot quit me so quickly
Is no hope in you for me
No corner you could squeeze me
But I've got all the time for you, love

The space between
The tears we cry
Is the laughter keeps us coming back for more
The space between
The wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep us safe from the pain
Will I hold you again?
These fickle, fuddled words confuse me
Like will it rain today?
We waste the hours with talking, talking
These twisted games we're playing

We're strange allies
With warring hearts
What a wild-eyed beast you be
The space between
The wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep us safe from the pain

Will I hold you again?
Will I hold you...

Look at us spinning out in the madness of a rollercoaster
You know you went off like the devil in a church
In the middle of a crowded room
All we can do, my love
Is hope we don't take this ship down

The space between where you smile and hide
Where you'll find me if I get to go
The space between, the bullets in our fire fight
Is where I'll be hiding, waiting for you
The rain that falls splashed in your heart
Ran like sadness down the window into your room
The space between
Our wicked lies is
Where we hope to keep safe from pain

Take my hand
'Cause were walking out of here
Oh, right out of here
Love is all we need dear
The space between
What's wrong and right
Is where you'll find me hiding, waiting for you
The space between
Your heart and mine
Is a space we'll fill with time
The space between...

Run

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak and understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak and understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easy way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound be afraid
Even if its just for a few days
Making up for all that's less

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Skinny Love

C'mon skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in the moment this order's tall

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different "kind"
I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines

C'mon skinny love what happened here
Suckle on the hope in lite brazziere

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full; so slow on the split

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
Now all your love is wasted?
Then who the hell was I?
Now I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you?
Who will fight?  
Who will fall far behind?

--Bon Iver
