The Avett Brothers
Rejects In The Attic (Live)
[Intro]
I've been hanging out with the rejects in the attic
Can't get out of my head the way you left
I got a sense of belonging but what does it matter
The winter's on its way here to collect

[Verse 1]
I was born on the outskirts of a dream
My daddy was a miner of almost anything
And I've been busting stones
Too proud to go back home
Admit that all my digging was in vain

[Chorus]
But don't we talk different than we did?
Am I more quiet than I've been?
Don't you look brighter than the moon?
Don't I look different without you?
Don't I look different without you?

[Verse 2]
I'm taking rain like my Appaloosa's hoofprint
And you know I'm drinking sunlight all day long
I'm opened up just like a dogwood flower
And winter's on its way here to collect
[Chorus]
But don't we talk different than we did?
Am I more quiet than I've been?
Don't you look brighter than the moon?
Don't I look different without you?
Don't I look different?

[Verse 3]
I was taken on the outskirts of a dream
I had a been a miner of almost everything
Well I stopped busting stones
I'll have to go back home
Admit that all my digging was in vain

[Chorus]
But don't we talk different than we did?
Am I more quiet than I've been?
Don't you look brighter than the moon?
Don't I look different without you?
Don't I look different?


[Outro]
Winter's on its way here to collect
(Well don't I look, well don't I look?)
Winter's on its way here to collect
(Well don't I look, well don't I look?)
Winter's on its way here to collect
(Well don't I look, well don't I look?)
Winter's on its way here to collect
(Well don't I look, well don't I look?)
Winter's on its way here without you
Winter's on its way here without you
