Destroyer - It Just Doesn't Happen

Copied!

You're looking good in spite of the light
And the air and the time of the night
They play your favourite song
"She's Just Too Dark To Care"
"High Water Everywhere"
"Smoke Gets In Your Eyes"

You throw yourself down on the playground
Skid to a halt on the runway
You cast a poisonous look to the sun
You know it just doesn't happen to anyone
You know this doesn't just happen to anyone

I find the silence unbearable
What does that say about the silence?
Versus the violin
And the moonlight
And the moonshine
And your empty pen with its ridiculous paper

You throw yourself down on the playground
Skid to a halt on the runway
You cast a poisonous look to the sun
You know it doesn't just happen to anyone
You know this just doesn't happen to anyone

You're looking good in spite of the light
And the air and the time of the night
They play your favorite song
"It's Just Too Dark To Care"
"High Water Everywhere"
"Smoke Gets In Your Eyes"

You throw yourself down on the playground
Skid to a halt on the runway
You cast a poisonous look to the sun
You know it just doesn't happen to anyone
You throw yourself down on the playground
Skid to a halt on the runway
You cast a poisonous look to the sun
You know this doesn't just happen to anyone

You know it just doesn't happen to anyone
You know it doesn't just happen to anyone
You know it just doesn't happen to anyone
You know this doesn't just happen to anyone
You know it
