Lyrics of Nettles by Ethel Cain

We Were In A Race To Grow Up
Yesterday, Through Today, โ€™til 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 โ€™til Daylight (Not โ€˜Til Daylight), Not โ€™til Daylight (Not โ€™til 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 Wasnโ€™t Pretty Like The Movies
It Was Ugly, Like What They All Did To Me
And They Did To Me What I Wouldnโ€™t Do To Anyone
You Know Thatโ€™s For Sure

Tell Me All The Time Not To Worry
And Think Of All The Time Iโ€™ll, Iโ€™ll Have With You
When I Wonโ€™t Wake Up On My Own (Wake Up On My Own),
Wake Up On My Own
Held Close All The Time, Knowing Iโ€™m 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€™
โ€œTo 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
Youโ€™ll Go Fight A War, Iโ€™ll Go Missing
I Warned You, For Me, Itโ€™s Not That Hard

That Picture On The Wall Youโ€™re Scared Of Looks Just Like You
I Wanna Bleed, I Wanna Hurt The Way That Boys Do
Maybe Youโ€™re Right And We Should Stop Watchinโ€™ The News
โ€™cause, Baby, Iโ€™ve 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 Iโ€™ll, Iโ€™ll Have With You
When I Wonโ€™t Wake Up On My Own (Wake Up On My Own),
Wake Up On My Own
Held Close All The Time, Knowinโ€™ Iโ€™m 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 Wonโ€™t 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
