Generate meaning
1
You were a girl with impossible dreams
2
And I was just living beyond my means
3
The presidents warred and the generals cried
4
And so many good things shriveled and died
5
And now like a hurricane, you come and you go
6
And I pray the levees will ever hold
7
Because love is a battlefield and you are the gun
8
Before I can draw, you've already won
9
Someday I'll be over you
10
Someday please come soon
11
The children outside think that life's just a game
12
And I wish that the clouds would stop spelling your name
13
You came like a soldier prepared for the thrill
14
If this whiskey doesn't kill me, then you surely will
15
So I moved to Georgia to start over new
16
The beautiful girls, they all looked like you
17
But they all want more, and I'm just a drunk
18
And all I can give is never enough
19
Someday this'll all be done
20
That someday can't come soon enough
21
The children outside think that life's just a game
22
And I wish that the clouds would stop spelling your name
23
You took all from me until you had your fill
24
If this whiskey doesn't kill me, then you surely will
25
Imagine my surprise when you walked in tonight
26
It felt like the bar turned out all the lights
27
You said you were gone, but your dreams had all drowned
28
And I'm still a poor boy, but in a new town
29
We both found Jesus in crazy ways
30
And spent all our Sundays singing his praise
31
With all of our efforts, we're both still alone
32
And suddenly this bar felt like home
33
Oh, life's just a game
34
Oh, life's just a game
35
Despite all my troubles, I love you still
36
If this whiskey doesn't kill me, then you surely will.
Bon Iver & St. Vincent - Roslyn (Lyrics)
