In this old house, I'm not alone
In a bedroom, a telephone
You made the call and I just, stood by
I stripped the sheets and emptied out the sty
And the crowds, they light the carnival
Calling us
Calling us
And all we want
Another voice
To lead us on
Lead us on
Lead us on
Even wasting
The time with you
Doesn't matter
If I think it through
You took the car around the bend
And ran it in the ground, let's pretend.
And the crowds, they light the carnival
Calling us
Calling us
And all we ask
Another voice
Lead us on
Lead us on
Lead us on
I can't
Get out
Of what I'm into
With you
I can't
Get out
Of what I'm into
With you
I can't
Get out
Of what I'm into
With you
I can't
Get out
Of what I'm into
With you
In a bedroom, a telephone
You made the call and I just, stood by
I stripped the sheets and emptied out the sty
And the crowds, they light the carnival
Calling us
Calling us
And all we want
Another voice
To lead us on
Lead us on
Lead us on
Even wasting
The time with you
Doesn't matter
If I think it through
You took the car around the bend
And ran it in the ground, let's pretend.
And the crowds, they light the carnival
Calling us
Calling us
And all we ask
Another voice
Lead us on
Lead us on
Lead us on
I can't
Get out
Of what I'm into
With you
I can't
Get out
Of what I'm into
With you
I can't
Get out
Of what I'm into
With you
I can't
Get out
Of what I'm into
With you

get out
Of what I'm into

Mmm, that's the best part.
all we want's another voice
to beat us up
beat us up
lead us on
’You made a call and I just stood by’
The other person in the relationship called, but he didn’t pick up. He no longer wanted to be with is person, so he moved.
‘I stripped the sheets and emptied out the sty.’
‘And the crowds that light the carnival
Calling us home
Calling us home’
Grizzly Bear is Brooklyn based, and in New York, there are carnivals all the time. He misses his home; it’s “calling” to him.
‘And all we wants another voice
To lead us along
To lead us along
Lead us along.’
He wants another reason to go back home, to leave his situation.
‘Even wasting my time with you doesn’t matter if I think it through’
He thinks it will be okay, he’s trying to make it work, make it something its not, knowing that it’s essentially a time filler. But he knows no matter how much he thinks about it, he’ll still feel the same way.
‘You took the car around another bend
Ran it in the ground, let’s pretend.’
He wants to pretend that the other person wreaked their car “ran it into the ground” for another reason for him to leave, and get out of the relationship etc.
‘I can’t get out of what I’m into with you’
No matter what he dose to leave, he can get out of the relationship. Not necessarily literally but it’s always there, there’s always something that reminds him of it. Or it could very well mean exactly what it says…
I could have totally missed the boat here but, easy come easy go….
P.s I totally agree with injun252. The black cad session version is rad!! Go check it out.
In this old house, I’m not alone
In a bedroom, a telephone
You made a call and I just stood by
I stripped the sheets and emptied out the sty.
And the crowds that light the carnival
Calling us home
Calling us home
And all we want's another voice
To lead us along
To lead us along
Lead us along
Even wasting my time with you doesn’t matter if I think it through
You took the car around another bend
Ran it in the ground, let’s pretend.
And the crowds that light the carnival
Calling us home
Calling us home
And all we want's another voice
To lead us along
To lead us along
Lead us along
I can’t get out of what I’m into with you. [4x]
