rilo kiley b-side

i love rilo kiley b-sides. here's the track off of the moneymaker single called Draggin' Around.


Draggin Around (Non-Album Track) - Rilo Kiley

Here's to all the luck that pours down on me
Here's to all the melodies that picked us up off our seats
Here's to the younger ones when they replace me
Here's to the bitterness that keeps the sweet so sweet

Here's to all the words that we'll never speak
Here's to all the pretty girls that you're going to meet
Here's to the little lies I tell in my sleep
Here's to the secrets that you're going to keep

Why don't you raise up, raise up your cup?
I've had enough, raise up your cups

Here's to the company that we used to keep
Here's to the certainty of sickness and sleep
Here's to the death of who we thought we were
Here's to all our kids that'll never be born

Why don't you raise up, raise up your cup?
I'm choking up, raise up your cups
To dragging around
A cross and a thorny crown
And living because you're willing
And being forgiven, thankfully


i'm sure we've all been perplexed by lost loves and lives we could have lived. just makes you ponder at the frivolousness of it all. so why don't you raise up your cup to draggin around?

i love metric - gimme sympathy

hmmm, i think i already wrote about how i love metric a couple years ago. well, just a quick update. i still do and this song is amazing.



"Don't go
Stay with the all unknown
Stay away from the hooks
All the chances we took

We're so close to something better left unknown
We're so close to something better left unknown

I can feel it in my bones
Gimme sympathy
After all this is gone
Who would you rather be
The Beatles or The Rolling Stones?
Oh seriously
You're gonna make mistakes you're young
Come on baby play me something,
Like here comes the sun "
