stride rite

Animal Collective

Here once again
I lie beside you
Staring through
Your open heart
Explaining what I m not
Let s invite all the songs that we wrote
So we d know and let them go
And she s lying sideways
Peering through the open blouse
Discovering her mother s dying heart
And feels safe in the arms she d grown old just to know

Then let them go
And this winter s sorrow s hard I know
But we ve been through worse and back
All in time
Don t hide behind
This love is wide
Just take a stride
Might ?ven have to climb

Lost one to canc?r
Two to sorrow
Three by losing patience with the people who we are
Let us tend what s not grown
Nothing s wrong
Let it go
I know you know
Ride the rise and fall of love s repeating answer
To the quest of our extraordinary lives
Let us find what we d know
In the fall of the old

Then let it go
This winter s sorrow s hard I know
But we ve been through worse and back
All in time
Don t hide behind
This love is wide
Just take a stride
Might even have to climb

Above the walls inside
Look to teachings you ll find everywhere
From your lover s eyes
To the loss that makes you cry
