Shins - Girl On The Wing Lyrics
One wound up punch of intuitionLays flat my whole take on us.You're the girl on the wing of a barnstormerThe tidal rabbit who came of age before her time.We could have been so good-naturedIf i'd relented when you insisted,But we've been backed againstAll nature's walls far too long.You felt abandoned by me,I recall the sunshine as you were meltingAnd though the comedy softens the fallThey still hear us with their ears to the wall.I sold all my evil motives,No icicles stuck in my hide.I'm through with riddles, i know we're littleJust help me feel warm inside.Before we take this ride and let it slideInto the cracks where fall and winter collide.I surrender all my gall in a song of modern love.Remember you're the one who summoned me above any other kind.We could have been so good-naturedIf you'd relented when i insisted,We take a week off, let the garden grow by itselfAnd let the gluttons fill themselves with all the worst of the gory ninties.And though the comedy softens the fall, we stall fall short.Before we take this ride and let it slideInto the cracks where fall and winter collide.I surrender all my gall in a song of modern love.Remember you're the one who summoned me above any other kind.
