Lyrics (by The All-About)
Red rover red rover, I don't feel any older
For cheap or for free, could you send some love over?
Or maybe some good news, because no news is bad news
I need a hole in my head like I needed to choose
Where I fit on this coast, and what I'll miss the most
Is the midwinter's bite, like a mild-tempered ghost
To spend all winter making this, shortest of wishlists
Of things that could change in a fated existence
Oh, I should've known you were right along
Oh, if you're not walking tall then you're walking wrong
The other team as it were, sent this one girl over
To collide with our arms, which were linked at the fingers
We tried to resist, and though joined at the wrist
She widened the gap that between us existed
On multiple planes, and so we went astray
We thought fate was our friend, but our fate was to blame
All this idle time darling - this idle time, friend
'Til we find someone new and can whisper again
About hold on to me and in time you will see
That our minds will align and our hearts will agree
About all our old ghosts and the threats that they pose
Are worth no more of our worry than this frostbitten coast
Oh, I should've known you were right all along
Oh, If you're not walking tall, then you're walking wrong
The worst of the winter is over, Spring ever grows closer
We must now be so merry, we must now be so hopeful
Speckled city snow, so instantly old
Many years ago today, plagued me beyond hope
I am more content now than that city allowed
I have not any money but of much to be proud
With eyes new, a voice so loud, pick me out from the crowd
I don't wanna be seen lost and spinning around
I can breathe,Ii can breathe
I can finally be found, 'til then
Ashes to ashes,
I will wave to you on my way down
For cheap or for free, could you send some love over?
Or maybe some good news, because no news is bad news
I need a hole in my head like I needed to choose
Where I fit on this coast, and what I'll miss the most
Is the midwinter's bite, like a mild-tempered ghost
To spend all winter making this, shortest of wishlists
Of things that could change in a fated existence
Oh, I should've known you were right along
Oh, if you're not walking tall then you're walking wrong
The other team as it were, sent this one girl over
To collide with our arms, which were linked at the fingers
We tried to resist, and though joined at the wrist
She widened the gap that between us existed
On multiple planes, and so we went astray
We thought fate was our friend, but our fate was to blame
All this idle time darling - this idle time, friend
'Til we find someone new and can whisper again
About hold on to me and in time you will see
That our minds will align and our hearts will agree
About all our old ghosts and the threats that they pose
Are worth no more of our worry than this frostbitten coast
Oh, I should've known you were right all along
Oh, If you're not walking tall, then you're walking wrong
The worst of the winter is over, Spring ever grows closer
We must now be so merry, we must now be so hopeful
Speckled city snow, so instantly old
Many years ago today, plagued me beyond hope
I am more content now than that city allowed
I have not any money but of much to be proud
With eyes new, a voice so loud, pick me out from the crowd
I don't wanna be seen lost and spinning around
I can breathe,Ii can breathe
I can finally be found, 'til then
Ashes to ashes,
I will wave to you on my way down
