Impossible Soul by Sufjan Stevens
Impossible Soul lyrics
Ooh. Woman, tell me what you want
And I'll calm down without bleeding out
With a broken heart that you stabbed for an hour
Woman, too, I was freaking 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 wigging out, too much worry, I could not get you at all
And you said what you want, you would laugh it off
But I know you won't go, not for any less
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
Lest I put it off, 'for I put it right for the impossible soul
And all I couldn't sing, I would say it all my life, 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
And you said something like, "All you want is all the world for yourself"
But all I want is the perfect love, though I know it's small, I want love for us all
And all I couldn't sing, I would say it all my life, 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 wake
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 is instead on righteousness led
The seed and the hail, of impossible ? are an interesting ?
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?
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 wake
For the scariest things are not half as enslaved
Don't be distracted, don't be distracted
