Once Upon a Poolside

[Verse 1: Matt Berninger]

Don't make this any harder

Everybody’s waitin'

Walk-on's almost over

Teenagers on ice

Try to keep my distance

Talkin’ of forgiveness

Once upon a poolside

Underneath the lights

[Chorus: Matt Berninger & Sufjan Stevens]

What was the worried thing you said to me?

[Verse 2: Matt Berninger]

I'll follow you everywhere

While you work the room

I don't know how you do it

Tangerine perfume

I'm not doin' anyone

Any kind of favors

Watchin' airplanes land

And sink into the pavement

[Chorus: Matt Berninger & Sufjan Stevens]

What was the worried thing you said to me?

[Bridge: Matt Berninger]

I can't keep talking, I can't stop shakin’

I can’t keep track of everything I'm taking

Everything is different, why do I feel the same?

Am I asking for too much? Can’t hеar what you're sayin'

[Chorus: Matt Berninger & Sufjan Stevens]

What was the worried thing you said to mе?

I thought we could make it through anything

[Bridge: Matt Berninger]

This is the closest we've ever been

And I have no idea what’s happenin'

Is this how this whole thing is gonna end?

This is the closest we've ever been

[Verse 3: Matt Berninger]

Don't make this any harder

Everybody's waitin'

Walk-on's almost over

Teenagers on ice

Try to keep my distance

Talkin' of forgiveness

Once upon a poolside

Underneath the lights

[Chorus: Matt Berninger & Sufjan Stevens]

What was the worried thing you said to me?

I thought we could make it through anything
