Cover art for Rosie Oh lyrics by Animal Collective

As i walked across the bridge with a backpack cross my shoulder blades, the everglades below the wooden cracks

you had offered up a ride so i might not get accosted by the watery slide

but i said no i'd rather not said no.. i'd rather not said no... i'd rather not step in

as i left my home i'd cried and a substituted figure tried to reconcile the things i'd left behind

you had opened up the doors and made a place where i could sit inside and fortify

but i said no i'd rather not said no... i'd rather not said no... i'd rather not step in

i'm on my own i'm on my own i'm on my own i'm on my owwwwn

now no ones ever been invested in how no one knows what's best for him

i'm on my own i'm on my own i'm on my own i'm on my owwwwn

when no one's left to light the load then so one goes to lift alone

i'd like to embrace it like to embrace it like to embrace it all

i'd like to embrace it like to embrace it like to embrace it all

have i made this or is it that i've been made?
