Big Thief - Born For Loving You
After the first stars formed, after the dinos fell
After the first light flickered out of this motel
1991 momma pushing my gal
Tangled in blood and vine
From my first steps to my first words
To walking around looking at birds
To the teenage nightmare, mine and yours
Thank God we made it through
★ Chorus ★
'Cause I was born for loving you
It's just something I was made to do
Doesn't matter what dreams come true
I was born for loving you
★ Verse 2 ★
Now we're here, but where is here?
When sometimes we both disappear
Into that shadow box of fear
That tiny-holed abyss
From the first kiss to the first fuck
I don't think it's just good luck
Take me to the back of your pick-up truck
Show me a thing or two
★ Chorus ★
'Cause I was born for loving with you
It's just something I was made to do
Doesn't matter what dreams come true
I was born for loving you
★ Verse 3 ★
When the hard times come and the hard times stay
When they stick around and won't go away
When it feels like there's nothing you can do or say
Nowhere you can turn
From the last breath of my first death
To this lifetime and lifetimes left
Congratulations, no regrets
It's true
★ Chorus ★
I was born for loving you
It's just something I was made to do
Doesn't matter what dreams come true
I was born for loving you
I was born for loving you
It's just something I was made to do
Baby, let your tears come shining blue
'Cause I was born for loving you
I was born for loving you
I was born for loving you

Big Thief - Seam
This whole world is dying Don’t it seem like a good time for swimming? Before all the water disappears Ever since the day we met I loved you and I don’t regret The way
Big Thief - Under Her Arm
{Verse 1} She wears flowers around her neck She cooks that egg so perfect To eat it warm To eat it warm, warm {Chorus} And you sleep under her
Big Thief - Incomprehensible
I'm afraid of getting older That's what I learned to say Cause society has given me The words to think that way The message spins and spirals Don't get saggy,
Big Thief - Los Angeles
Los Angeles, 3:33 nothing on the stereo {?} {?} picture box is full And we are kissing in a fistful of friends falling down I throw them up and watch
Big Thief - All Night All Day
All night, all day I could go down on you Hear you sing your pleasure I {?} Or whatever may {?} To drink the pleasure Swallow poison, swallow
Big Thief - Grandmother
{?} grandmother Sweet {?} sweet {?} It's alright, everything {?} What's the use of holding It's unfolding, we're all
Big Thief - Love In Mine
Put your love in mine Let your body sing When your words won't Tell me everything When I ramble on And I often do Remind me To travel on to you
Big Thief - Abysskiss
{Verse 1} Try and get some rest I'll do the rest Think to what the roses find With the arms of passion This is how we fashion Wars remind In the hour
Big Thief - Blue and Red Horses
{Verse 1} Blue and red horses on the run I think the angel is jumping the gun Little red lantern watching the sun Maybe the angel is jumping the gun
Big Thief - Over
On your tongue You yearn so young The fragrant night It’s over but it’s alright It’s over but it’s alright {?} It’s over but it’s alright It’s over
