Hold You Now - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Ezra Koenig]

I know the reason why you think you gotta leave

Promises of future glory don't make a case for me

I did my best and all the rest is hidden by the clouds

I can't carry you forever, but I can hold you now

Leaving on your wedding day, all calm and dressed in white

All I'll keep's the memory of one last crooked night

The pews are getting filled up, the organ's playing loud

I can't carry you forever, but I can hold you now

Alright

God, yu tekem laef blong mi

Mi mi givim nao long yu

Mbae mi givim evride

Blong leftemap nem blong yu

I know the reason why you think I oughta stay

Funny how you're telling me on my wedding day

Crying in those rumpled sheets like someone's 'bout to die

You just watch your mouth when talking 'bout the father of the bride

Why's your heart grown heavy, boy, when things were feeling light?

Turning this June morning into some dark judgment night

This ain't the end of nothing much, it's just another round

I can't carry you forever, but I can hold you now

God, yu tekem laef blong mi

Mi mi givim nao long yu

Mbae mi givim evride

Blong leftemap nem blong yu

Alright
