Grizzly Bear Veckatimest Lyrics
1.Southern Point

Our haven on
The southern point is calling us
Our haven on
The southern point is calling us

And faced with all
The obvious, so carry us
Avert your eyes from all of this
We'll make it all back

In the end
You'll never find
You'll never find
In the end (You'll never find me now)
In the end (You'll never find me now)
You'll never find (But I'll return to you)
You'll never find (When you return to me)

In the end
You'll never find
You'll never find
In the end (You'll never find me now)
In the end (You'll never find me now)
You'll never find (But I'll return to you)
You'll never find (When you return to me)

In regards to the last word
It's not the last you'll hear
I never find any other
I could ever
I could ever

Never say it's the last word
It's not the last word
I never find any other
I could ever
I could ever


2.Two Weeks

Save up all the days
A routine malaise
Just like yesterday
I told you I would stay

Would you always
Maybe sometimes
Make it easy
Take your time

Think of all the ways
Momentary phase
Just like yesterday
I told you I would stay

Every time you try
Quarter half the mile
Just like yesterday
I told you I would stay

Would you always
Maybe sometimes
Make it easy
Take your time

Would you always
Maybe sometimes
Make it easy
Take your time


3.All We Ask

In this old house, I'm not alone
In a bedroom, a telephone
You made the call and I just, stood by
I stripped the sheets and emptied out the sty
And the crowds, they light the carnival
calling us
calling us

And all we want
Another voice
To lead us on
Lead us on
Lead us on

Even wastingthe, time with you
Doesn't matter, if I think it thru
You took the car around the bend
And ran it in the ground, let's pretend.
And the crowds, they light the carnival
calling us
calling us


4.Fine for Now

Grizzly Bear - Fine For Now

There was time, it took time (all the while)
There is time, so much time

All the kids on the waterfront try to raise their hands
Not asking for your permission, please understand

If we're all faltering, how'd I help with that?
If it's all or nothing, then let me go.

If we're all faltering, why'd I help with that?
If it's all or nothing then let me go.

There was time, it took time (all the while)
There is time, so much time

All the kids on the waterfront try to raise their hands
Not asking for your permission, please understand

If we're all faltering, how'd I help with that?
If it's all or nothing then let me go
If it's all or nothing then let me go


5.Cheerleader

Mention a name, we know (we know)
Appear tame, it shows (it shows)
Please don't feign, the ropes (the ropes)
Always the same, I know (I know)

God let it go, it doesn't mean a thing
Chance and sow, nothing changing

There's no time to go (to go)
Through the designs we know (we know)
Never mind, although (although)
Maybe this time, we'll grow (we'll grow)

God let it go, it doesn't mean a thing
Chance and sow, nothing changing


6.Dory

Wildly coherent in a watery deep
we'll drop her down to the bottom
we'll drop her down
like she's nothing and the water is all

Oh the water is still in a wilder deep
We'll swim around like two dories
We'll swim around
like two dories let loose in the bay

We'll miss the eddy
Hold on make steady, go
There is no plenty.
Even keel already, go

I can't be here all hours
Oh such a riot
I can't discern this trouble
Oh what a riot
I can't be here all hours
Oh such a riot
I can't describe

I can't be here all hours
Oh such a riot
I can't describe this problem
Oh what a riot
I can't be here all hours
Oh such a riot
I can't describe this problem


7.Ready,Able

Grizzly Bear - Ready, Able

I'm gonna take a stab at this
Surely we'll be alright
Make a decision with a kiss
Maybe I have frostbite
And when I shuffled on back home
I made sure all my tracks in the snow were gone

Tissue and bone it was a tryst
This isn't a gunfight
Checking it off of my list
Unable to write
Five years, countless months and a loan
Hope I'm ready, able to make my own, good home

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.
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.


8.About Face

Without a trace
Makes me wonder
A staged race
Has no thunder
This is the case
Of our plunder
It's a fire for what?
Time for faith we thought

About face
Makes me wonder
And in this case
There is no thunder
A bit of grace
In our plunder
It's a fire for what?
Time for faith we thought

It's a fire for what?
Time for faith we thought
It's a fire for what?
Time for faith we thought


9.Hold Still

Here we go again
We'll carry on
My only friends
I'll take our chance
Without compromise
There isn't anything left to try

Here we go again
Oh, carry on
But then again
We couldn't take this long
The story goes on file
As if we never were there at all


10.While You Wait for the Others

while you wait for the others
to make it all worthwhile
all your useless pretentions
are weighing on my time
you could beg for forgiveness
as long as you like
or just wait out the evening
and always ask me why
yes youll only leave me dry
so ill ask you kindly to make your way
and what was there
the perfect glare
we all fall through

while you wait on the answers
that ill pretend to find
keeping up with emotions
still occupies our time
you could hope for substance
as long as you like
or just wait out the evening
and always ask me why
yes youll always ask me why
ill ask you kindly to make your way
and what was left
the perfect glare
we all fall through
and all we want


11.I Live With You

Grizzly Bear - I live With You

Return
Don't put me on
Return
Don't make me beg
Return
And they'll try, they'll try
They'll try
To keep us apart
And you'll try, you all try
You'll try to keep us apart
But yes we can
You brought us this far
We'll do what we can


12.Foreground

Take on another shift
Palms in the middle, hands in the middle
Work out another rift
Something is muffled, another juggle
This is a foreground
It is a foreground

A cross country miss
Take direction, can't connect it
I'm afraid this is
Ten detected, nine in a wreck and
A little jetty fight
Pattern evolving, motion insolvent
Something about this might
Take all evening,
I'll just be cleaning
This is a foreground
It is a foreground
