TEGAN AND SARA LYRICS

"Arrow"

Would you take a straight and narrow critical look at me? Would you tell me tough love style, put judicial weight on me?

If you're thinking anything, if you're thinking endlessly. If you're thinking anything, if you're thinking...

I feel the breeze, feel feathers of an arrow.Out in my yard, feathers of an arrow.

I take my aim, do you feel me coming close?I take my aim, so you feel me coming close.



Would you take a calm and tender terminal kind of care?Would you touch me, cling and wage on intimate fight for me?

If you're thinking anything, if you're thinking endlessly. If you're thinking anything, if you're thinking...









[Thanks to Lee for these lyrics]

"Don't Rush"

Don't block, bad idea, you've been so good I hear, don't rush.Don't move, bad idea, you've been so still, I'm here for you don't rush.

One way or another, I'll find my way to cover,I sing to find my other, sing to find my...

One way my lovely other, they find restless cover, you sing to another, sing to find your...

Don't leave, bad idea, you've been so far so long, don't rush.Don't run, bad idea, you move so fast, I need to rush.



One way or another, I'll find my way to cover,I'd love to find my other, love to find you.

One way my lovely other, they'll find restless cover, you've loved so many others.

One way to erase bad ideas, well I won't see you once you arrive. One way to escape bad ideas, well I won't cry to you, not that you would mind.

One way to erase bad ideas, well I won't see you once you arrive. One way to escape bad ideas, well I won't cry to you, not that you would mind.



One way or another, I'll find my way to cover,I'd love to find my other, love to find you.

One way my lovely other, they'll find restless cover, you've loved so many others.

"Hell"

No, I'm not ready for a big bad step in their direction.No, I'm not ready for downtown trash, avoid collection.

Four blocks, run and hide, don't walk alone at night.Cityscape, city change before they die.

Four blocks, I should mention in a song if I want to get along with change,Who doesn't wanna change this?

I know you feel it too, these words get overused.When we get up and over it and over them,

Up and over it and over them.I know you feel it too, it all seems so untrue.When you get up and over it and over them,

Oh oh, hell no. Oh oh, hell no.

No, we're not ready for fair distribution, just a terminal solution for...No, we're not ready for hell, hell no, for hell, hell no.

Four days, wide awake, why slide along and say.Girl's afraid, girl will change, just move away.

Four days that I mention in a song, move along, get ahead, get her hand and bring her with you.



Oh oh, hell no. Oh oh, hell no.

Four ways to remove all the bad that we do from the heart and the soul of the cities sad and cold.Four ways to collect what we say and what we save to discard and discover a brand new way

I know you feel it too, these words get overused.

When we get up and over it and over them, Up and over it and over them.

I know you feel it too, it all seems so untrue.When you get up and over it and over them,

Up and over it and over them.



Oh oh, hell no. Oh oh, hell no.Oh oh, hell no. Oh oh, hell no.

"On Directing"

You're directing me, your eyes focus like a microscope.Get the cuts you need, eyes focus like a microscope.

Go steady with me, I know it turns you off when I - I get talking like a teen.I get talking like a teen.

You're directing me. You're dressed up I lose my grip, my focus.Make those eyes at me, I lose my grip, I lose my focus.

Go steady with me, I know (I know) it turns you off when I - I get talking like a teen.I get talking like a teen.

Go steady with me, I know (I know) it turns you off when I - I get talking like a teen.I get talking like a teen.

(Oh, oh, hold onto me)You're directing me, your eyes focus like a microscope.

(Oh, oh, hold onto me)Get the cuts you need, eyes focus like a microscope.

(Oh, oh, hold onto me)You're directing me. You're dressed up I lose my grip, my focus.

(Oh, oh, hold onto me)Make those eyes at me, I lose my grip, I lose my focus.

Go steady with me, I know (I know) it turns you off when I - I get talking like a teen.(Talking like a teen)

I get talking like a teen.

Go steady with me, I know (I know) it turns you off when I - I get talking like a teen.(Talking like a teen)


(oh, oh, hold onto me)Go steady with me, I know (I know) it turns you off when I (oh, oh, hold onto me) - I get talking like a

teen.(Talking like a teen)


Go steady with me, I know (I know) it turns you off when I (oh, oh, hold onto me)- I get talking like a teen.

(Talking like a teen)I get talking like a teen.I get talking like a teen.

"Red Belt"

When you think nothing could be further from the truth.When you're sure nothing could be further from the cold hard truth.

I kneel to condition all the feelings that I feel.

Slow it down, you have a tendency to rush back into your past.Slow it down, you transfer all your weight and disappear.

You kneel to condition all the feelings that you feel.

I've got a red belt around my mind.

My hands are tied up around these words.I wish you'd call but I know that you're out tonight.

My ears fill with the sound of you kneeling.My ears fill with the sound of descent.

My ears fill with the sound of you arching.

Slow it down, you have a tendency to rush back into your past.Slow it down you transfer all your weight and disappear.

Kneel to condition all the feelings that you feel.Kneel to condition all the feelings that you feel.Kneel to condition all the feelings that you feel.Kneel to condition all the feelings that you feel.

"The Cure"

Begging like you might take order in your own hands.I stare, it seems like I don't care, drop a chance in your hands then.

I know that bad's got to fix itself, correct over time.And I know 'cause I've got the cure, I've got a cure for your crimes.

All I dreamed up, all that seemed like luck seems silly to you now.All I said to you, all I did for you seems so silly to me now.

oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Screaming like no one might call the cops and arrest you this time.Standing back against my building's back door, you're hoping for a ride.

I know the world's been mean to you, I've got a cure, hold tight.I know the world's not fair to you, I've got a cure for it's crimes.


Oh oh when you say it, So so slowly to me,

Oh oh well I keep going,Oh no I ran while knowing,No no I know you need it,

So so I need it too,And oh oh I must keep going,

So so you must too.

Oh oh when you say it, So so slowly to me,

Oh oh well I keep going,Oh no I ran while knowing,No no I know you need it,

So so I need it too,And oh oh I must keep going, so you must too.

I've got a cure, I've got the cure for you.



I've got a cure, I've got the cure for you.I've got a cure, I've got the cure for you.

"Northshore"

Don't bend, don't bleed, don't beg, don't scream, don't whine, don't fight, don't tell me.Don't tell me, don't tell me.

Don't feel, don't tear, don't kiss, don't care, don't touch, don't want me.Don't want me, don't want me.

Something's so sick about this, my misery's so addictive. I'm halfway there watching Northshore from the floor singing to you over my sholder.

Don't run, don't hide, don't hurt, don't lie, don't breathe, don't try, don't find me.Don't find me, don't find me.

Don't cringe, don't clench, don't look, don't flinch, don't know, don't go, don't leave me.Don't leave me, don't leave me.


Don't sing, don't talk, don't yell, don't laugh, don't think, don't speak, don't save me.Don't save me, don't save me.

Don't stare, don't glare, don't heal, don't mend, don't take, don't send, don't love me.Don't love me, don't love me.





"Night Watch"

I've got grounds for divorce.It's in my blood this divorce.

I seperate everybody, I need distance from your body.Oh I deserve this anguish on my house.

So get away, you cannot follow me.I get away, you cannot follow me.

So get away, you cannot follow me.So get away, you cannot follow me.

I get away.

I've got grounds for recourse.Your lungs fill with discourse.

You seperate from my body, you need consistence from somebody.Oh I deserve this angusih on my house.




So get away.

"Alligator"

Sensitive, it's true, alligator tears cried over you. Over you, over you. Over you, over you.

Run around on me, I'd sooner die without.Run around on me, die without.

Relentless, yes it's true, my motormouth runs over you.Over you, over you. Over you, over you.


Over you, over you. Over you, over you.Over you, over you. Over you, over you.


No hissy fits, mind my manners, won't make a scene over you.Over you, over you, over you.

Over you, over you.


Rattled yes, it's true, alligator tears spilled over you.



Over you, over you, over you. Over you, over you.

Over you, over you, over you.Over you, over you, over you.

Over you, over you.Over you, over you.

"Paperback Head"

You have to become what you fancy. Paperback head, you get carried away.

Stitch up your spine to keep the suitors away.

Must draw your own aid.Must sift your affairs.

Must frame up a material girl.

Wild fires, you must remit.Can't stand the smoke, pull the sheets down low,

Rope up your mind, keep the suitors in line.

Must draw your own aid.Must sift your affaits.

Must frame up a material girl.A material girl.

I gasp, like sugar and spice...I gasp, like sugar and spice...

Who better than you?Better than you?



Who better than you?

Paperback head, you got carried away.Stitch up your spine to keep the suitors away.

Can't stand the smoke, pull the sheets down low,Rope up your mind, keep the suitors in line

Must draw your own aid.Must sift your affairs.

Must frame up a material girl.A material girl.A material girl.A material girl.

"The Ocean"

When you wake what is it that you think of most?When your bed is empty do you really sleep alone?

If I imagine you, body next to another.

All around me new love and it makes me sad.All around me feel assured that you'll be back,


Stop crying to the ocean, stop crying over me.Stop worrying over nothing, stop worrying over me.

So it's been so long since you said,Well I know what I want and what I want's right here with you.

On the drive back here I was worrying over nothing.On the drive back there tears spilling over something.

When I imagine you, body next to another.

In the door and you're there and you're sorry for the fright. In the door, can I hear you saying you don't wanna fight?

When I imagine you, body next to another.

Stop crying to the ocean, stop crying over me.Stop worrying over nothing, stop worrying over me.


It's been so long since you said,Well I know what I want and what I want's right here with you.

In a flash it's back to you, just brought attention to the mess.In a flash you're on top begging me to understand.


You drop in for a minute and I'm sorry that I didn't drop in soonerjust to see you and see what you've been doin'.






"Sentimental Tune"

You in a simple gray coat in a simple white room.Oh, now you know you know it now.

And so, now you know you know it now.

You hate the tenderhearted torch song.You catch a flame to my sentiment, my sentimental tune.

Oh, now you know you know it now.And so, now you know you know it now.

Hard-hearted don't worry I'm ready for a fight.Unnerved, the nerve, you're nervous, nervous that I'm right.


Now with your cause and affection on my mind,I won't yield, throw caution into the blaze.


Watch, with a bit of friction I'll be under your clothes.With a bit of focus I'll be under your skin.






"Someday"

They yell speak up. I fill these pages like I fill those spaces with my lies.

They yell step down.A crowd's not worth this and love's not worthless, you've got to step up stranger.

Might paint something I might want to hang here someday,Might write something I might want to say to you someday,

Might do something I'd be proud of someday.Mark my words, I might be something someday.

They yell right on,A class act president, you are my boss,

I am confident in your eyes.They yell move up,

Don't stand back here and wait like an animal at a farmer's gate,Am I food or am I free?

So speak up this is your last chance my friend,Roll the windows down and take me in.Reach out say what you're really about.

Are you coming here or not, are you coming out?





I don't want to know that you don't want me.

I don't want to know what you do without me.I don't want to know what I'll be without you.

I dont wanna know. I don't wanna know.

I don't want to know that you don't want me.I don't want to know what you do without me.I don't want to know what I'll be without you.

I dont wanna know. I don't wanna know.





(I don't want to know that you don't want me.I don't want to know what you do without me.I don't want to know what I'll be without you.

I dont wanna know. I don't wanna know.)



(I don't want to know that you don't want me.I don't want to know what you do without me.I don't want to know what I'll be without you.

I dont wanna know. I don't wanna know.)



"It Was Midnight"

It was midnightYour hand was in mine

All eyes were on our tableIt was after noon before you were out of bed and I was able to concentrate

To figure out a plan to keep you here,To evaluate..

To make a list, a list to convince you

Don't run away;It only fuels the flames..

Don't pull away;It only makes me wanna stay..

It was mondayYou were packing on my floor

My eyes were charting every move you madeIt was early evening before you were home and I was sure you were safe

I can't concentrateI try so hard to plan to keep you here

I can't evaluateI threw away the list to convince you





Gone..gone..gone..gone...


Don't pull away;It only makes me want to stay..

(it was midnight)Don't run away;

It only fuels the flames..

(it was midnight)Don't pull away;

It only makes me want to stay.

"Wrists"

Oh my wrist's so weak but if I could lift your bodyOut of a crash of the waves that have battled to me

Working too hard gets me acting like a ?So before you tell me you're not worth the worry, hurry.

Hurry, hurry, hurryI like to hurry when I'm on you

Hurry, hurry, hurry

Make me go without a word,Gets so crazy when you shut up.

Wake up in a panic, room is dark, you know this body.Could be this way with almost just anybody,

So pull me next to the window, pull me next to the light.


Hurry, hurry, hurry

Don't judge a book by the size of it's wrist.Hurry, hurry

Are you undecided?Hurry, hurry, hurry

Don't judge a book by the size of it's wrist.Hurry, hurry

Are you undecided?Hurry, hurry

I know my ego's weak so thought if I could lift your body,And wake up out of air, the night's too short, you're on to me.

Why am I always acting timid and too careful?Please, before I tell you I'm not worth the worry, hurry.


Hurry, hurry, hurry

Oh my wrist's are weak, I carry weight like a shadow.So pull me next to the window, pull me next to the light.


Hurry, hurry, hurry

Don't judge a book by the size of it's wristHurry hurry

Are you undecided?Hurry, hurry, hurry

Don't judge a book by the size of it's wrist.Hurry hurry

Are you undecided?Hurry hurry hurry

Are you undecided?Hurry hurry

Are you undecided?hurry, hurry

Don't judge a book by the size of it's wristAre you undecided?

Hurry hurryDon't judge a book by the size of it's wrist

Are you undecided?Hurry, hurry

Hurry, hurry, hurry.

"Light Up"

What would I do differently with two kids on my hip?Let them say what they will, 'cause they will anyhow.Let them say what they will, 'cause they will anyhow.

I'm the age you were then,What goes through your mind?

Find some success and reduce the worry on your babies' minds

Let them say what they will, 'cause they will anyhow.Let them say what they will, 'cause they will anyhow.

Lay back and light upLay back and light up

Without any guiltLay back and light upLay back and light up

Without any guilt

??

Well I've searched for myself... what would I find?Let them say what they will, 'cause they will anyhowLet them say what they will, 'cause they will anyhow

Well eggshells are not easy to holdWe uncurl and unwind when we sleep side by side

Let them say what they will, 'cause they will anyhowLet them say what they will, 'cause they will anyhow

Lay back and light upLay back and light up

Don't pull away;It only makes me want to stay..

"I Was Married"

I married in the sun

(tell me where tell me where)Against the stone of buildings built before

You and I were born(start again start again)

And to my heart confusion rose againstThe muscles fought so long

(fought so long)To control against the pull of

One magnet to another magnetTo another magnetNow we look up in

(tell me who tell me who)Into the eyes of bullies breaking backs

They seem so very tough(it's a lie it's a lie)

They seem so very scared of usI look into the mirror

(look into)For evil that just does not exist

I don't see what they see(tell them that tell them that)

Try to control the pull of one magnetTo another magnetTo another magnetTo another magnet

To another

"Relief Next To Me"

I miss you nowI guess like

I should have missed you thenMy body moves

Like curtains waving in and out of wind,In and out of windows

I can't untangle, I can't untangleWhat I feel and what would matter most

I can't close an eye,can't close an eyelid

And now there's just no point,

In reaching out for meIn the dark,

I'm just no good at giving reliefIn the dark,

It won't be easy to find reliefAnd I'm not proud

That nothing will seem easy about meBut I promise this

I won't go my whole lifeTelling you I don't need

But I promise thisI won't go my whole lifeTelling you I don't need

I'll tell you nowI guess like

I should have told you thenThe thunder moves

Like damn drawers slamming in my frameSlamming in my framework

I can't untangle, I can't untangleWhat I know and what should matter most

I can't close an eye,can't close an eyelid

And now there's just no point,In reaching out for you

In the dark,I'm just no good at giving relief

In the dark,It won't be easy to find relief

And I'm not proudThat nothing will seem easy about me

But I promise thisI won't go my whole lifeTelling you I don't need

"The Con"

I listened inYes I'm guilty of this

You should know thisI broke down and wrote you back

Before you had a chance to

Forget forgottenI am moving past this giving notice

I have to goYes I know the feeling,

Know you're leavingCalm down, I'm calling you to say

I'm capsized, erring on the edge of safeCalm down, I'm calling back to say

I'm home nowI'm coming around, coming around

Nobody likes to but I really like to cryNobody likes me

Maybe if I crySpelled out your name and lists the reasons

Pain of heartDon't call me back

I imagine you when I was distantNon-insistent

I follow suit and laid out on my back Imagine thatA million hours left to think of you

And think of thatCalm down, I'm calling you to say

I'm capsized, erring on the edge of safeCalm down, I'm calling back to say

I'm home nowAnd coming around, coming around

Nobody likes to but I really like to cryNobody likes me

Maybe if I cryEncircle me, I need to be, taken downEncircle me, I need to be, taken downEncircle me, I need to be, taken down

Nobody likes toBut I really like to cry

Nobody likes meMaybe if I cryNobody [x9]

Encircle me, I need to be, taken down
