Lyrics Marrow - THAO, Thao & The Get Down Stay Down

Marrow

Would you believe
She wants to keep
The rest of me
The death of me
I’ve got grief in my marrow
Will you marry me still
I’m one of two on the straight and the narrow
And I’m coming for you
I was an island
Was I treading was I fleeing
I was silent
I could barely hear me breathing
You dawned upon me
To the least goes the most
I was the drought
And you were the coast
I promise I will be good to us
I promise I will be good to us
(What are you worth if you don’t make a sound)
I’ve been searching all of my life
My life
When it’s whittled to the middle
Is it alright
That I managed just a little
Of the good fight
Had to learn what truth does
The friction of the fiction was burning me up
I was meant to defend us
And I promise I will
I was an island
Was I treading
Was I fleeing
I was silent
I could barely hear me breathing
I know I’ve lived
As a quiet apology
I’m sorry to you
And I’m sorry to me
I was meant to defend us
And I promise I will
I was an island
Was I treading
Was I fleeing
I was silent
I could barely hear me breathing
I know I’ve lived
As a quiet apology
I’m sorry to you
And I’m sorry to me
I’ve got grief in my marrow
Will you marry me still
I’m one of two on the straight and the narrow
And I’m coming for you
I was meant to defend us
And I promise I will
Be good to us
I’ve got grief in my marrow
Will you marry me still
I’ve been searching all of my life
