Lyrics White Denim – Is And Is And Is

Sailing with eyes wide
See billowing light at night
And then only color
Is and is and is, as it is

Flaming flies in flight
Gaining bites that might
Cost them their lives
But it is and is and is, as it is
Oh, it is and is and is, as it is

Their leaves limp, floating in the wind
Their rose wilts, starting to bend
Their house and its inhabitants want
What it is and is and is, as it is
Oh, it is and is and is, as it is

Katie had words full of memory
She said, «It won’t be long, and it will never be what was»
Rudy was prone to believing things
He said «It won’t be wrong, unless we let it be what was»
Movement took hold inexplicably
Letting everything onto some trickery, what was

Blaming an unseen blight
On praise they did not recite
But underneath them
What is and is and is, did exist
What is and is and is, did exist

Self-styled hunters diagnosed
Katie’s feelings as she mopped the kitchen floor
Rudy placed magnetic pictures in his hall
To discover he’d been wiped from them all

Katie had words full of memory
She said, «They don’t belong and I will never be what was»
Rudy let go of his dignity
He said, «It might be wrong, but I won’t let it be what was»
Cuffed and blamed so quickly
They wouldn’t leave behind, and it’s a reason why
