Lyrics She Would Look for Me - Okkervil River

She Would Look for Me

All the girls around me said you were gonna be there
Seattle moonlight motel, a rattlesnake the evening
I smelled it in the wind, I can taste it in a cocktail
She’ll call me, I know she will look for me
All the air that drowned me, it said a little secret
A sunken giant sleeps off the coast of California
Go down the blue ravine where the way is steep and broken
She’ll call me, I know she will look for me
And they say that it doesn’t look good
They say that it doesn’t look good for me
Like if I were a knight I’d hallucinate a movie
My CineColor baby, the lace sticks to your body
Battlefields of death fought for palaces of money
The song had my heart racing, the wine got my head heavy
My sword became so bloody, I don’t know what I’ve done
Would you see me my love, would you wait for me?
Would you stand by the high prison gate for me?
Well they tell me it doesn’t look great
And they say that it doesn’t look great for me
Like a breath of fall on your weekend, I’m high
I said «you know it’s great to be worth it or to fall behind
Washed away
Washed away
Washed away»
Oh, the breath escapes me, I’m shaking like a lost thing
Invaded by your face, overtaken by a feeling
I saw the sky, it’s spinning, I heard the branches snapping
She’ll call me, I know she would look for me
And they say that it doesn’t look good
Well they say that it doesn’t look good for me
