Bon Iver – Skinny Love (Lyrics)

Written By: Justin DeYarmond Edison Vernon

Lyrics (Start at 0:32):

Come on skinny love, just last the year
Pour a little salt, we were never here
Му mу mу, mу mу mу, mу my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

Tell my love to wreck it all
You cut out all the ropes and let me fall
Му mу mу, mу mу mу, mу my
Right in this moment, this order’s tall

And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
And in the morning, I’ll be with you
But it will be a different kind
And I’ll be holding all the tickets
And you’ll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love, what happened here?
Suckle on the hope in light brassieres
Му mу mу, mу mу mу, mу my
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split

And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
And now all your love is wasted
And then who the hell was I?
And I’m breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?
