Arcade Fire You Tried to Turn Away song lyrics

you tried to turn away my fears

shouting metaphysics in my fifteen year old ears

I dreamed all day of sneaking out the window

a sigh for every other breath

when you are joyful I feel better

you catch a cold that lasts forever

a quest and we are hiding in the shadows

beneath blue blazers and the smell of old books

your eyes are blue, your voice is deep

in half a verse you sung my whole, whole world to sleep

and in a classroom underground

I am still aching for that old still sound

then we know that patience is the most important part

what's the point of being patient for a broken heart?

I wish I was as passive as a patient on a table

it seems to me that you will die as soon as you are able
