Lyrics gun-shy - Grizzly Bear

The sky keeps staring at me
Frozen in my tracks (nothing else to see)
And when I move my face left
You're always standing there (a shadow I can't see)
And even then, I can't trace
You're walking away

I put my ears to the ground
Always pushing down (nothing I can hear)
I found the worst half in me
I'm cut-off at the knees (can't even take a stand)
Against your words and beliefs
We didn't want to freeze

(All of the years, leaving me here, gun-shy)
I don't want to say it all again (taking the pain)
(Losing my aim) I never seem to see (and why)
Do I always feel it all the same? (Haven't we changed?)
(Story to blame?) The blisters in my eyes (recite)
A guide that has only led me stray (all of my wrongs)
(You know it's wrong) and even as I limp (you smile)

The cold keeps tearing at me
Slowing down my blood (unable to speak)
I left my mind long ago
Choosing something false (always letting go)
And when I try to face you
You're walking away

(All of the years, leaving me here, gun-shy)
I don't want to say it all again (taking the pain)
(Losing my aim) I never seem to see (and why)
Do I always feel it all the same? (Haven't we changed?)
(Story to blame?) The blisters in my eyes (recite)
A guide that has only led me stray (all of my wrongs)
(You know it's wrong) and even as I limp (you smile)
