I Lost You Lyrics
Drive on drive on
The highway bright and long
The river's overflowing
The house's burning down
Drive on drive on
The engines on the lawn
We kiss goodbye and drink up
Some hours before the dawn
We kiss goodbye and drink up
I'll miss you when you're gone
So throw me a line
Throw me a line
My heart's underneath
Aside on our feet
The windows are shaking
And so are my bones
The worlds going round
Throw me a rope
A trumpet and a trombone
Still echoing in the hall
And bells ringing out at dawn
So hang on to me
Hang on to me
The world's going round
And time's coming round
The headlights are swinging all over the lawn
So throw me a rope
Throw me a rope
I knew you when i was young
The loveliest girl in town
I wish you were still around
I waited a long time
I bore you
I waited a long time
I lost you
I was sleeping in the backseat
When I got home
I was finally reminded
I lost you
The highway bright and long
The river's overflowing
The house's burning down
Drive on drive on
The engines on the lawn
We kiss goodbye and drink up
Some hours before the dawn
We kiss goodbye and drink up
I'll miss you when you're gone
Throw me a line
My heart's underneath
Aside on our feet
The windows are shaking
And so are my bones
The worlds going round
Throw me a rope
Still echoing in the hall
And bells ringing out at dawn
Hang on to me
The world's going round
And time's coming round
The headlights are swinging all over the lawn
So throw me a rope
Throw me a rope
The loveliest girl in town
I wish you were still around
I bore you
I waited a long time
I lost you
I was sleeping in the backseat
When I got home
I was finally reminded
I lost you

incredible song. and the last minute of this song is absolute bliss. album of the year in my opinion.
best walkmen song
one of the best songs of the year.
his voice reminds me of bob dylan. this is such a sad song. i guess its about growing old and remembering the lost loves. reminiscing. "The loveliest girl in town, I wish you were still around" .. fav part:
"Still echoing in the hall And bells ringing out at dawn So hang on to me Hang on to me"
its like echoing in ur heart and memory and hanging on to the past. sad and lovely.
I waited a long time I bore you
has to be:
I waited a long time All for you
that being said, this is the best song on the new album. so grand.
he acts like everything is alright, he doesn't mind them just being friends. but in reality, he doesn't want to give up. they are each other's anchors in this crazy world. and at the end of it, he just pours his heart out to her...and it's beautiful
Unrequieted love? "Throw me a line" makes me think he's desperate for any sign that she feels similarly or is begging her to be with him. "A trumpet and a trombone, Still echoing in the hall, And bells ringing out at dawn" memories of her that he can't get rid of? Maybe.
I agree.
