Jodi Lyrics - Singles - The Dodos

You give us bread, you keep us warm 

What I do for you in turn 

I leave you with this memory stained 

Between the sheets, under the rain 

Your face is pale, your lips are red 

Your eyes are dark, you might be dead 

But I will hold you even then 

Until you breathe and I am fed 

Jodi, my dear, I'm sorry but I must disappear 

I leave you with a song and a tear 

Just please don't wash away 

This is my crutch, you had me at the face and the touch 

But I can only give you so much 

Before it goes away 

You could be my end 

You could be my end 

We can do this on our own 

But you're still telling me 

What I want, what I need 

'til I can't even be 

Here on my own 

And in the dark and on the floor 

The bottle caps, well they just pour 

And you can tell I want you more 

Beyond the few, beyond the storm 

But this won't stay, yeah I confess 

That I am not what you have guessed 

I'm just a whore and nothing less 

And I won't stop until I rest 

Roll into town with thunder on our backs, heads are proud 

We wander through your gates and your crowd 

To ponder what we'll take 

And though you are far, I keep you in a place in my heart 

And never let the beast tear apart 

What happened there in May 

You could be my end 

You could be my end 

We can do this on our own 

But you're still telling me 

What I want, what I need 

'til I can't even be 

Here on my own
