Broken Bottle Lyrics
Once I was a broken bottle
lying in a crowded bar
waiting for the band to start again
And from the floor I'd stare up
at the bright lights and the silhouettes
cast along the wall behind your head
O, I would wait
for you to find me there
I would be you lighter bolder(?), unapologetic
would have myself delivered to your hands
you wouldnt know me by the way my words curve up
around the page and fall upon - I could not breathe out loud
O, I would wait
you would know me then
Have you ever begged ask a question of a song
tried to know someone by following their words?
sometimes you're a broken bottle
waiting to be undiscovered
in between the bright lights and the dawn
O, I would wait
you would find me there
O, I would wait
you would find me there
lying in a crowded bar
waiting for the band to start again
at the bright lights and the silhouettes
cast along the wall behind your head
for you to find me there
would have myself delivered to your hands
you wouldnt know me by the way my words curve up
around the page and fall upon - I could not breathe out loud
you would know me then
tried to know someone by following their words?
sometimes you're a broken bottle
waiting to be undiscovered
in between the bright lights and the dawn
you would find me there
O, I would wait
you would find me there

These are the lyrics to Certainty...not Broken Bottle. And your lyrics to Certainty are the lyrics to Broken Bottle. Starting with line nine, I think its:
I would be a letter, bold and unapologetic Would have myself delivered to your hands You would know by the way my words curve up around the page And form a poem I could not read out loud
I'm not 100% sure, but it seems to make more sense.
I first saw Laura Gibson with the Decemberists 2 years ago. I was mesmerized by her music and decided to listen to all of her songs. This is my favorite song of hers, lyric-wise. If I was ever to write a song about myself, this would be it.
