Lyrics of We by Bon Iver
For only takers, stand and take in where you are
Turn around and face it: you′re adjacent to the scar
"I want mine here though"
We heard that story before (Woo, hahaha)
What you think we're tamin′ with the towers and the oar?
You keep evadin', boy, you putting me flat on the floor
It's okay, you were young when you were gave it
But you stayed there
And you′d expect it when we photograph our scars
Some lonely fable that we took in then right from the start
I want it back
I want it back
Won′t you tell me how to get it back?
I want it back
I want it back
Why won't you tell me how to get it back?
My, my, my, my−
I′m coming over for another story told
I'm saying, homie, that it′s not what you been sold
It's hardly what you′d know
The ordinary somethin' neither of us holds
No foldin' gold for protectin′ from the lords
Who′s that really we leave out in the cold?
But they're dependin′, so you just keep givin' pause
"I must defend it", oh, the tariffs hit you hard
Just keep addin′ up, boy, you'll be below regard
