Cover art for Ready, Able lyrics by Grizzly Bear

I’m gonna take a stab at this Surely we’ll be alright Make a decision with a kiss Maybe I have frostbite 1^ Confession-Infidelity, surely she will understand and forgive me, difficult so extremely difficult to admit, it's painful, cold, it hurts... guilt

And when I shuffled on back home I made sure all my tracks in the snow were gone 1^ I went to her, I confessed.. everything, everything, every sorted detail, I made sure all of my tracks in the snow were gone, I didn't leave out anything, not a thing

Tissue and bone it was a tryst 2^ Wow, that's all it was... I meant nothing to him, tissue and bone, I was just another one of his...

This isn’t a gunfight 2^ Whatever, I'm not going to fight it, what's the point, he's made his decision, wow, I'm so done, what's the point, broken, completely broken

Checking it off of my list Unable to write ^2 I don't deserve this, I wash myself clean, I'm through, I have no words to say, promises tossed away

Five years, countless months and a loan ^2 (defenses are up... thinking back to all those years of trusting him, being with him, anger/dismay) I gave him five years of my life, I gave him everything, seriously... seriously!

Hope I’m ready, able to make my own, good home ^1 I need to get it right, and not make the same mistakes, I need to be a better person...

They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did, They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did. ^2 Relationships, they go, we do the dance, repeat, All of his confession are repeating, repeating, repeating, in my mind, I look back at him and can't believe what just happen, (the ugliness of sin...)

They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did, They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did.

::vocalizing::

They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did, They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did.
