Car Seat Headrest
Misheard Lyrics
[Verse 1: Will Toledo]
Everything you say is a bridge
Everything you do is water under it
These were not the original lyrics
Such a worthless waste of time to write about
[Verse 2: Nora Knight]
Every bit of you that I don't love
Is filled up with my hate
I was a situation
That you were glad went away
[Pre-Chorus 1: Will Toledo & Nora Knight]
Move move forward like a human being
Sometimes you have to kill things to impress your friends
You probably looked like an idiot in that hat
Used to feel bad about crushing ants
[Chorus 1: Will Toledo & Nora Knight]
(Why why why why why to die)
I can't go back to not understanding what you mean to me
(Why why why why why to die)
I’m turning into the person that you were afraid I’d turn out to be
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3: Will Toledo & Nora Knight]
There is something in me that can only give
There is something in you that can only give out
When you hear my songs, do you get that feeling?
And if not, what the hell were you hearing?
[Verse 4: Will Toledo & Nora Knight]
I am not crazy, I am right
What do you mean? What are you saying to me?
I was just another bird you touched
Whose mother won't take him back
[Pre-Chorus 2: Will Toledo & Nora Knight]
I’m sorry I misheard your lyrics
Tried to smile but it didn’t show up in the photograph
I was searching for a soul to sell my devils to
All I wanted was sleep and you took it away
[Chorus 2: Will Toledo & Nora Knight]
(Why why why why why to die)
Did you do something wrong, was there something you did that I could blame
(Yes yes yes yes yes I dislike I hate)
I thought I was open, I thought I was intimate, and then you asked me my name
[Bridge: Will Toledo]
By the time they send the lifeboats
I won’t want to leave the island
Calling out to distant shorelines
Calling out for different basslines
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus 3: Will Toledo & Nora Knight]
I can’t go back to not understanding what you mean to me
I’m turning into the person that you were afraid that I’d turn out to be
Did you do something wrong, was there something you did that I could blame
I thought I was open, I thought I was intimate, and then you asked me my name
[Outro: Will Toledo & Nora Knight]
Ooh, it was nothing special
Ooh, it was nothing sacred
Just hands held
And shoulders rubbed
And voices touched
In holy harmony
