Impossible Soul Lyrics - The Age Of Adz - Sufjan Stevens

Woman, tell me what you want 

And I'll calm down without bleeding out 

With my broken heart that you stabbed for an hour 

Woman, too, I was wigging out because I want you to know 

My beloved, you are the lover of my impossible soul 

And woman, too, promise you'll stay and put off all your woes 

I was bleeding out, too much worry, I could not get you at all 

And if you said what you want, I would laugh it off 

But I know you won't go, not for either class 

Must you write it off for the impossible soul? 

And I was in a dream, I was gone away without you but not too slow 

For I put it off, lest I put it right for the impossible soul 

And all I couldn't sing, I would say it all 

My love to you, if I could get you at all 

Don't be a wreck, trying to be something that I wasn't at all 

Seems I got it wrong, I was chasing after something that was gone

To the black of night, now I know it's not what I wanted at all 

I'll say something like, all you want is all the world for yourself 

And all I want is the perfect love, though I know it's small 

I won't hurt for its soul 

And all I couldn't sing, I would say it all 

My love to you, if I could get you at all 

Oh, oh oh oh, trying to be something that I wasn't at all 

Do you want to be afraid? Do you want to be afraid? 

For life in the cage where courage's mate runs deep in the waves 

For the scariest things are not half as enslaved 

Don't be distracted, don't be distracted 

Do you want to be alone? Do you want to be alone? 

For life isn't stained of righteousness pale 

The seed and the hail, all the clouds that have left aren't interested 

Don't be distracted, don't be distracted 

Do you want to love me more? Do you want to love me more?

For love is the breath 

If water and wind is cursed 

By the same thing that nurtured its shame 

Is it worth all the work? 

Don't be distracted, don't be distracted 

Have you failed to feel delight? 

And have you failed to feel delight? 

Instead of the love, lived tired and lost, have you left it at last 

Where it floundered its death with the language of ghosts? 

Don't be distracted, don't be distracted 

Do you want to be afraid? Do you want to be afraid? 

For life in the cage where 

Where courage's mate runs deep in the waves 

For the scariest things are not half as enslaved 

Don't be distracted, don't be distracted 

Stupid man in the window 

I couldn't be addressed 

All my delight, all that mattered 

I couldn't be addressed 

From what I liked, from what I gathered 

I couldn't be addressed 

Stupid man in the window 

I couldn't be addressed 

(judgement, judgement) 

And don't be shy in the window 

Come down and give your best 

Oh, delight in the window 

I couldn't be addressed 

Stupid man in the window 

I couldn't be addressed 

From what I like, from what I gathered 

I couldn't give my best 

Now I know it wasn't safe 

It wasn't safe to breathe at all 

Now I know it wasn't safe 

It wasn't safe to breathe at all 

(It wasn't safe, it wasn't safe) 

Now I know it wasn't safe 

It wasn't safe to breathe at all 

(It wasn't safe, it wasn't safe) 

Now I know it wasn't safe 

It wasn't safe to speak at all 

(Hold on to, hold on to) 

One two three four! 

It's a long life 

Better pinch yourself 

Put your faith together 

Better get it right 

It's a long life 

Better hit yourself 

Put your face together 

Better stand up straight 

It's a long life 

Only one last chance 

Could it get much better 

Do you wanna dance 

It's a long life 

Better pinch yourself 

Get your face together 

Better stand up straight 

Boy we can do much more together 

Better get a life get a life get a life get a life 

Boy we can do much more together 

Better get a life get a life get a life get a life 

Boy we can do much more together 

Better get it right get it right get it right get it right 

Boy we can do much more together 

It's not so impossible 

It's not so impossible 

It's a long life 

Better pinch yourself 

Get your face together 

Better roll along 

It's a long life 

Better pinch yourself 

Put your face together 

Better stand up straight 

It's a long life 

Only one last chance 

Couldn't get much better 

Do you wanna dance 

It's a good life 

Better pinch yourself 

Is it possible? Is it possible? 

Boy we can do much more together 

Better get a life get a life get a life get a life 

Boy we can do much more together 

Better get a life get a life get a life get a life 

Boy we can do much more together 

Better get it right get it right get it right get it right 

Boy we can do much more together 

It's not so impossible 

It's not so impossible 

In the wrong life 

Everything is chance at the register 

Do you wanna dance 

In the right life 

It's a miracle 

Possibilities. 

Do you wanna dance 

I never meant to cause you pain 

My burden is the weight of a feather 

I never meant to lead you on 

I only meant to please me, however 

And then you tell me "Boy, we can do much more together." 

I'm nothing but a selfish worm? 

I'm nothing but a privileged puppet 

And did you think I'd stay the night 

And did you think I'd love you forever 

And then you tell me "Boy, we can do much more together." 

I gotta tell you "Girl, I want nothing less than pleasure." 

I gotta tell you "Boy, we made such a mess together."
