Lyrics Devendra Banhart – Taking A Page

I can see it in the way
That you are the pain
Tired flowers in the big parade
Flowers in the big parade

And first they thank you
?
For the
?
you’re done
Then you apologize
For being where you’re from
But I could hear the
?
Painted on the
?
And I was taking a page
From my own mistakes

It was an empty book
Until I took a look
I was taking a page
(I was taking a page)
From all the time I spent
With the vanity
That knows no end
The many unknown thrills
Hard to translate

She would look at her
Non-linear
As she reaches in her pocket to find
All of humankind

I’m in my «Free Tibet»
Shirt that’s made in China
With evolution’s
?
Jumping
?
behind ya

But I’ve got an infinity
Of things left to refuse
And I was taking a page
From
?

You’re so far away
Doesn’t anybody stay
I was taking a page
From remembering
There’s so many things
Right there in my skin

Wondering through a world
Neither of us understands
And when you think you just can’t stand it
Zoom out and see the planet

‘Cause love’s a little like
Crowd-surfing in an empty cloud
Oh that’s a little bit like
Something a lot like love

But things could really be much worse
At least
?
face, oh
But I can’t no more
Guitar solo or car chase

One step to mean the most
In songs that are just music
D’you ever think that colors say, «Hey
Who’s your favorite human?»

But I was stranded in a place
Of my favorite details

And I was taking a page
For my imaginary life
Where I’m a good housewife
Yeah that sounds nice
I was taking a page
From never feeling right
I was a girl or a
?
But I had to try
