Vampire Weekend Everlasting Arms song lyrics

I took your counsel and came to ruin

Leave me to myself, leave me to myself

I took your counsel and came to ruin

Leave me to myself, leave me to myself

Oh I was made to live without you

But I'm never gonna understand, never understand

Oh I was born to live without you

But I'm never gonna understand, never understand

Hold me in your everlasting arms

Looked up, full of fear, trapped beneath a chandelier that's going down

I thought it over and drew the curtain

Leave me to myself, leave me to myself

I hummed the "Dies Irae" as you played the Hallelujah

Leave me to myself, don't leave me in myself

If you've been made serve the master

You'd be frightened by the open hand, frightened by the hand

Could I've made serve the master?

Well, I'm never gonna understand, never understand

Hold me in your everlasting arms

Looked up, full of fear, trapped beneath a chandelier that's going down

Hold me in your everlasting arms

Looked up, full of fear, trapped beneath a chandelier that's going down

Hold me in your everlasting arms
