Lyrics of Nettles by Ethel Cain
We Were In A Race To Grow Up
Yesterday, Through Today, โtil Tomorrow
But When The Plant Blew Up
A Piece Of Shrapnel Flew And Slowed That Part Of You
The Doctors Gave You Until The End Of The Night
But Not โtil Daylight (Not โTil Daylight), Not โtil Daylight (Not โtil Daylight)
Time Passes Slower In The Flicker Of The Hospital Light
I Pray The Race Is Worth The Fight
Made A Fool Of Myself Down On Tennessee Street
It Wasnโt Pretty Like The Movies
It Was Ugly, Like What They All Did To Me
And They Did To Me What I Wouldnโt Do To Anyone
You Know Thatโs For Sure
Tell Me All The Time Not To Worry
And Think Of All The Time Iโll, Iโll Have With You
When I Wonโt Wake Up On My Own (Wake Up On My Own),
Wake Up On My Own
Held Close All The Time, Knowing Iโm Half Of You
(Mm-mm-mm, Mm-mm-mm)
(Mm-mm-mm, Mm-mm-mm)
(Mm-mm, Mm-mm, Mm-mm-mm)
(Mm-mm-mm, Mm-mm-mm)
(Mm-mm-mm, Mm-mm-mm)
Lay Me Down Where The Trees Bend Low
Put Me Down Where The Greenery Stings
I Can Hear Them Singinโ
โTo Love Me Is To Suffer Meโ, And I Believe It
When I Lay With You In That Auld Lang Room
Wishinโ I Was The Way You Say That You Are
Youโll Go Fight A War, Iโll Go Missing
I Warned You, For Me, Itโs Not That Hard
That Picture On The Wall Youโre Scared Of Looks Just Like You
I Wanna Bleed, I Wanna Hurt The Way That Boys Do
Maybe Youโre Right And We Should Stop Watchinโ The News
โcause, Baby, Iโve Never Seen Brown Eyes Look So Blue
Tell Me All The Time (Tell Me All The Time) Not To Worry (Not To Worry)
And Think Of All The Time Iโll, Iโll Have With You
When I Wonโt Wake Up On My Own (Wake Up On My Own),
Wake Up On My Own
Held Close All The Time, Knowinโ Iโm Half Of You
Think Of Us Inside (Think Of Us Inside),
After The Wedding (After The Wedding)
Sufferinโ The While To Lie A Time Or Two
When We Wonโt Wake Up On Our Own (Wake Up On Our Own),
Wake Up On Our Own (Wake Up On Our Own)
Held Close All The Time, Knowinโ (Knowinโ)
This Was All For You
Think Of Us Inside
Gardenias On The Tile,
Where It Makes No Difference Who Held Back From Who
To Love Me Is To Suffer Me
