Proxy War Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He don't have to get over her
She don't to have get over him
With all their words preserved forevermore
You don't have to get over her
She don't have to get over you
It's true these two have never met before

[Chorus]
At least not in real life
Where your words cut like a knife
Conjuring blood, biblical floods
Looks that stop time

[Verse 2]
You don't have to remember
We forget what memories are for
Now we store them in the atmosphere
If you don't want to get too close
You don't have to get too close
It's just what we're calling peer-to-peer
You don't want to get over
You don't have to get over
We store them in the atmosphere
If you don't want to get over her
She don't have to get over you
It's true these two have never met before

[Chorus]
At least not in real life
Where your words cut like a knife
Conjuring blood, biblical floods
Looks that stop time

[Outro]
If you don't want to get over her
You don't have to get over her
If you don't want to get too close
You don't have to get too close
If you want to remember
If you don't want to get over
If you don't want to get over
If you don't want to get over

Cover art for Proxy War lyrics by Andrew Bird

This one is so good. It's all about how technology has separated us, changed our lives so we don't really have to connect with one another as closely as we once did.

He don't have to get over her She don't to have get over him With all their words preserved forevermore You don't have to get over her She don't have to get over you It's true these two have never met before

  • Online romance. We can have a relationship over the internet, never meet in person, yet all our words are preserved, since it's all online.

You don't have to remember We forget what memories are for Now we store them in the atmosphere

-What's your friend's phone number? What's the capital of Peru? When was the war of 1812? We don't have to remember these kinda things anymore since we can just look it up instantly via our phones.
