Carving Oswego Lyrics
So this is how it is without your love.
So this is perfectly fitting that I sense your body rising up.
You're a comfort to taste but I wake to no one there.
So you're tracing over all these curves cut in you.
So you traced then all to me.
And I'm afraid that it's out on me and it's all so clear now.
The word is out on me that I'll finally be found.
Somebody's tracing over,
Somebody's dragging over,
Somebody's tracing over me.
This is how it is without you.
You are the tap that's reaching me.
Volcano eyes that keep me warm I turn for heat but I wake to no one there.
So you've traced my number.
So you've gathered it all up.
So you're catching up to me.
Tracing on the line that made me free.
So this is perfectly fitting that I sense your body rising up.
You're a comfort to taste but I wake to no one there.
So you're tracing over all these curves cut in you.
So you traced then all to me.
And I'm afraid that it's out on me and it's all so clear now.
The word is out on me that I'll finally be found.
Somebody's dragging over,
Somebody's tracing over me.
You are the tap that's reaching me.
Volcano eyes that keep me warm I turn for heat but I wake to no one there.
So you've traced my number.
So you've gathered it all up.
So you're catching up to me.
Tracing on the line that made me free.

i love this song...i can't believe i'm the first to comment on it! i love elliott so much :)
my favorite song
i fucking love this song so MUCH
i effing love this song so much
I think this is a bad @$$ song!! You just have to listen to it when you come across it on your playlist! I think that this song means something about a relationship-I don't know, but this song(like all the others) rocks!!
I'm probably wrong but I look at it is teling about breaking up but being unable to move past the feelings. "Volcano eyes that keep me warm I turn for heat, but I wake to no one there." You get caught in the routine of waking up to the same body and then when the relationship is over, the routine is broken. It's like the phantom limb: your body thinks you still have your leg, and you feel the sensation of itching... even after your leg is gone.
you guys obviously have an inferior intelligence when it comes to these lyrics, there is a much deeper meaning that lies in these words, its not about a relationship
Then what's it about, genius? You haven't provided anything insightful on this site at all. All of your posts are you calling people out for not knowing the lyrics or saying that you like a song.... oh wait, the creationism bullshit too that apparently runs through all of Elliott's songs. You're fucking worthless and a disgrace to anybody who calls themselves a fan of Elliott, thug. Go back to college, take a non-credit reading comprehension class, and probably a course on elementary grammar.
oldironside first of all just about every song on false cathedrals has religioud overtones
superstitions in travel is ripe full of them
lie close and blessed by your own ghost are also
so i dont know what is wrong with your perception of the lyrics, but it with all due disrespect you are badly mistaken
just beacuse you dont have the transcendental knowledge to decipher the meanings does not entitle you to belittle me, i can guranterr chris higdon would agree with me
