Lyrics Skiptracer - Okkervil River

Skiptracer

Skiptracer, find for me my friend
Who skipped out on a groove down an old lost trail
Old friends, don’t fall, never fail
People fighting for something are beautiful
You’re long, long reaching out is meaningful
Whatever you want I will give it to you
People fighting for something are beautiful
You’re long, long reaching out is meaningful
Whatever you want I will give it to you
I wanna go back
But time makes me know that it’s a waste to want something like that
I wanna go back
But time makes me know that it’s a waste to want something like that
So good luck, babe
Once, I rose above the noise and confusion
(And getting kicked around)
Once, I rose above the noise and confusion
(And getting kicked around)
I had started pretty good
I was feeling my way through it
Had the wheels in motion
I had started pretty good
I was feeling my way through it
Had the wheels in motion
Taxis in the gray
Whiskey sweating down our knees
Taxis in the gray gray
Sweating down our knees
Wanna go back
I wanna go back
But time makes me know that it’s a waste to want something like that
I wanna go back
But time makes me know that it’s a waste to want something like that
So good luck, babe
I said I got an old picture of you from there
Coasting through the tall stalks (Can't go back)
I wanna go back
