Bon Iver: "Skinny Love"

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

I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in the moment this order's tall

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different "kind"
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 lite brassiere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full; so slow on the split

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
Now all your love is wasted?
Then who the hell was I?
Now 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?

i had to listen to this about
ten times the first day i listened
to it. i have a thing for repeat,
but i really had a thing for
repeating this song. very convincing.
he must have gotten really cold
in wisconsin that winter.

not so random side note:
neverending boy once spent a night
out in wisconsin with bon iver.
what he learned from him was
that wisconsin is the place to go
if you want hugs from famous people.
they were supposed to go hunting
together the next day...
