Letra Slight Figure of Speech - The Avett Brothers
They say you gotta lose a couple fights to win
It's hard to tell from where I'm sitting
They say that this is where the fun begins
I guess it's time that I was quitting
A slight figure of speech
I cut my chest wide open
They come and watch us bleed
Is it all like I was hoping now
They said "I hope that you will never change"
I went and cut my hair
They said "Don't take your business to the big town"
I bought us tickets there
A slight figure of speech
I cut my chest wide open
They come and watch us bleed
Is it all like I was hoping now
What did you expect
And what did you forget
That to live you must let go of me with each step
It becomes a progression I won't let regret manifest
To aggression
Are you to assess what I've been? What I am? Or become?
Did you stop to accept how pathetically dumb
It can be to
Attack those around 'cause you're
True to a color, or a town, or a time, or a place?
It's not you, it's not mine
And besides it is gone
And you never will find it again
But I don't want to fight
I just ask let me be
I won't give you the chance to be my enemy
So go home
Think it through
A jet plane and a big idea
I jump over the seat
What Ifs hot on my trail
But they can't catch me, no
A slight figure of speech
I cut my chest wide open
They come and watch us bleed
Is it all like I was hoping now
It's hard to tell from where I'm sitting
They say that this is where the fun begins
I guess it's time that I was quitting
A slight figure of speech
I cut my chest wide open
They come and watch us bleed
Is it all like I was hoping now
They said "I hope that you will never change"
I went and cut my hair
They said "Don't take your business to the big town"
I bought us tickets there
A slight figure of speech
I cut my chest wide open
They come and watch us bleed
Is it all like I was hoping now
What did you expect
And what did you forget
That to live you must let go of me with each step
It becomes a progression I won't let regret manifest
To aggression
Are you to assess what I've been? What I am? Or become?
Did you stop to accept how pathetically dumb
It can be to
Attack those around 'cause you're
True to a color, or a town, or a time, or a place?
It's not you, it's not mine
And besides it is gone
And you never will find it again
But I don't want to fight
I just ask let me be
I won't give you the chance to be my enemy
So go home
Think it through
A jet plane and a big idea
I jump over the seat
What Ifs hot on my trail
But they can't catch me, no
A slight figure of speech
I cut my chest wide open
They come and watch us bleed
Is it all like I was hoping now

More Of You

I and Love and You
Load the car and write the note, Grab your bag and grab your coat, Tell the ones that need to know, We are headed north, One foot in and one foot back, It don't pay to live like that, So I cut the ties and I jumped...
Laundry Room
Don't push me out, Just a little longer, Stall your mother, Disregard your father's words, Close the laundry door, Tiptoe across the floor, Keep your clothes on, I got all that I can take, Teach me how to use, The...
Ill With Want
I am sick with wanting and it's evil and it's daunting, How I let everything I cherish lay to waste, I am lost in greed, this time it's definitely me, I point fingers but there's no one there to blame, A need for...
Head Full of Doubt, Road Full of Promise
There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in light, In the fine print they tell me what’s wrong and what’s right, And it comes in black and it comes in white, And I’m frightened by those who don’t see it, When...
