Bon Iver - Skinny Love

 
Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in this moment this order's tall

And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
And in the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different "kind"
I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love what happened here
Suckle on the hope in light brassiere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full; so slow on the split

And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
And now all your love is wasted?
Then who the hell was I?

Now I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines
Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?
Ooh, ooh

Bon Iver - I Can't Make You Love Me (Up!)

 
Turn down the lights,
Turn down the bed,
Turn down these voices,
Inside my head

Lay down with me,
Tell me no lies,
Just hold me close,
Don't patronize me
Don't patronize me

Cause I can't make you love me
If you don't,
You can't make your heart feel
Something it won't,
Here in the dark,
These final hours
I will lay down my heart
And I feel the power
But you don't,
No you don't

Cause I can't make you love me,
If you don't
If you don't

No, you won't

I'll close my eyes,
No, I won't see
The love you don't feel,
When you're holding me
Morning will come,
And I'll do what's right
Just give me till then
To give up this fight
And I will give up this fight...

Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
I can't make your heart feel,
Something it won't,
Here in the dark
These final hours
I will lay down my heart
And I feel the power
But you don't,
No you don't

I can't make you love me if you don't
If you don't,
No you, no you won't

I found love darlin'
I found love darlin'
I found love darlin'
I found love darlin'
I found love darlin'
Love in the nick of time
I found love darlin' yeah,
Love in the nick of time
