It Don't Suit Me (like Before) Lyrics - John Moreland

Well we haven't got all night 

Come on and raise a toast 

We're only one time aiming for the sun 

Thought we'd be grinding all our gears 

Til we're giving up the ghost 

And grieving from the ties that we'd undone 

I'm still staring at the sky, like at the start 

With all these heavy anchors on my heart 

But they don't suit me, babe, like before 

They don't suit me like they did before 

Always waving flags and waging wars 

But it don't suit me like before 

It don't suit me like before

Well folks like me and you 

We don't know how to call a truce 

And when we can't lose the fight, we just lose touch 

So we sit comparing scars 

Strumming on the stars 

And leaning on the oldest, closest crutch 

Don't let me turn to dust to turn a phrase 

Could you help me wash these years off of my face? 

But they don't suit me, babe, like before 

They don't suit me like they did before 

Always waving flags and waging wars 

But it don't suit me like before 

It don't suit me like before 

I used to have a prisoner's point of view 

Now I only care for being seen by you 

Photos 

Cause they don't suit me, babe, like before 

It don't suit me like it did before 

Always waving flags and waging wars 

But it don't suit me like before 

It don't suit me like before 

No, it don't suit me like before 

It don't suit me like before
