1974 [feat. Ryan Adams] Letra

R: I was born in 1974 on a calm meticulous street someplace in the sun oh the air was sweet and enough lights sprang sparks through the window of the room not as raw to a ridiculous tune slightly out of key in the mother hour R&A: So leave me alone So leave me alone So leave me alone I'm busy breaking bones A: I was born in 1974 in a breached feet-first way my twin opened the door my very first dose of chivalry I was dawned princess potential potent with gold star and matching impression big between two doors small and loved and proud and unthreatened R&A: So leave me alone So leave me alone So leave me alone I'm busy breaking bones R: I bet you were strong when you should have been weak like a dam that wanted to break I wish I were the stones your river learned to roam in whispering gaze A: You were told in a kind North Carolinian way to slow down, back up, or be hated thank god you did not and thank god you did an angel either way R&A: So leave us alone So leave us alone So leave us alone We're busy being grown A: November 5, 8:17 PM Scorpio & a gem R: June 1st, 9:39 AM Gemini & a lullaby
