Lyrics:

I'm broken down / You caved my karma in

I'm staying up / Waiting for you like a fool

You made me forget / About all the dreams I kept

I keep your glass hand / By the bed we slept

I can't erase / your smokey eyes

Your smothered face / Gripping on my waist

Leaving a ghost / Upon the Oregon Coast

And on the floors / Of a crashes porch

Who can pretend / That there's a beginning without an end?

It ain't contrived / All this magic in our lives

Comes down like a storm / Then drizzles then dies

Your soul is free / But you're the one I need

And you made your deal / But you're still my ideal

And so I wait / And so I choose this fate

And store your shape / In my electric bed

Who can pretend / That there's a beginning without an end ?

It ain't contrived / All the magic in our lives

Comes down like a storm / Then drizzles then dies

How can others not know that this beautiful music exists, not only this song but all of Mark Kozelek's songs. They are lyrical genius. They are emotionally special and unique. They are life altering...

Oh my god. This is one of the greatest things I have ever heard. The original is great, but this is pretty much perfect. This is life saving music right here.
