Hamilton Leithauser
In The Splinters
[Verse 1]
I stand all slanted now
A statue on one leg
Your initials, dark and red
Scratched into the boardwalk in ballpoint pen

[Pre-Chorus]
Any other night, but not this one
Any other night, I'd wish the world would end

[Chorus]
On any other night, I'd wish the world would end
But much to my surprise, I'm swept away again

[Verse 2]
I stand in the splinters
A stranger in my own skin
You tried your best to knock me down
But someone came along and built me up again

[Pre-Chorus]
Any other night, but not this one
Any other night, I'd wish the world would end

[Chorus]
On any other night, I'd wish the world would end
But much to my surprise, I'm swept away again

[Outro]
La-da-da, da-dum-da-dah, da-dah
I'm swept away again
I'm swept away again
I'm swept away again
I'm swept away
