Whispered Words (Pretty Lies) Lyrics
I hear words, pretty lies
Like the ones they tell you 'fore you die
Whispered words, soft and low
Push me anywhere she wanna go
I hear words, in my head
Each and every thing she ever said
Every sign, every line
Tricked me into falling one more time
(Bridge)
If you need me, you're here
If you don't, you're nowhere near
I should have quit a long time ago
I hear words, in my sleep
Promises you made but never keep
Even in my dreams
I try to fight but I don't ever win
(Bridge repeat)
Like the ones they tell you 'fore you die
Whispered words, soft and low
Push me anywhere she wanna go
Each and every thing she ever said
Every sign, every line
Tricked me into falling one more time
If you need me, you're here
If you don't, you're nowhere near
I should have quit a long time ago
Promises you made but never keep
Even in my dreams
I try to fight but I don't ever win

This is my favourite from the album so far.
Charles Auerbach (Dan's father) wrote the lyrics, and Dan 'fleshed' it out with music
I love the drumming and pauses in it too!
There is something so special about Dan Auerbach's voice, it's kind of raspy but soothing and gentle. The guitar is amazing in this song.
Amen. I'm in love with his voice. And his beard.
Amen. I'm in love with his voice. And his beard.
I hear words, pretty lies Like the ones they tell you 'fore you die
Sounds like it could be Pretty Lights. There's a DJ that attracts a young crowd with the same name.
Any way at the core it's a beautiful tune :)
