The Battle Of The Boy Least Likely To Lyrics
Warm milk and honey
Sweeten my teeth
From little acrons you,
You quietly made me
Made me into me
Paper thin skin stretched over my bones
From shells and pebbles
You, you quietly made me
Made me a home
But I can't get used
To being alone
And I won't get used
To being alone
Under a full moon
Hopelessly trying to retrace
Our footsteps in the snow
I don't know when to hang on
And when to let go
Foxes in boxes
And butterfly wings
From little acorns you
You quietly made me
Made me into you
Holding it under
Mine ten tillet stones
From all of my demons
You quietly saved me
Again and again
But now I feel
In service again
Yes I can feel
In service again
From little baubles
Littley baubles
Little embolisms grow
I don't know when to hang on
Everything I feel, feels wrong
I don't know when to hang on
And when to let go
Sweeten my teeth
From little acrons you,
You quietly made me
Made me into me
From shells and pebbles
You, you quietly made me
Made me a home
To being alone
And I won't get used
To being alone
Hopelessly trying to retrace
Our footsteps in the snow
I don't know when to hang on
And when to let go
And butterfly wings
From little acorns you
You quietly made me
Made me into you
Mine ten tillet stones
From all of my demons
You quietly saved me
Again and again
In service again
Yes I can feel
In service again
Littley baubles
Little embolisms grow
I don't know when to hang on
Everything I feel, feels wrong
I don't know when to hang on
And when to let go

the correct lyrics are 'holding it under my tongue `til it stings,' and "from little bubbles, little air bubbles, little embolisms grow.'
beautiful.
I think this song is about someone he used to be in a relationship with but isn't anymore, and how it kind of spoiled him by showing him how good it could be. And now nobody he meets can match up to her, so he feels like he won't find it again.
This is a really sad song. One of the few that matches the music on this album. Yet, it's still amazingly great. This really was the best album of 2005.
I heard this song live the other night and it was so beautiful I wanted to cry.
We meet these people who transform our lives and ourselves, but then we have to let go of them even though we want to hang on.
The line I don't get is "You quietly made me/ Made me into YOU". It doesn't sound like a positive thing.
