Wye Oak - Civilian (live).mp4

Wye Oak – Civilian

I am nothing without pretend
I know my faults
Can't live with them
I am nothing without a man
I know my thoughts
But I can't hide them

I still keep my baby teeth
In the bedside table with my jewelry
You still sleep in the bed with me
My jewelry, and my baby teeth

I don't need another friend
When most of them
I can barely keep up with them
Perfectly able to hold my own hand
But I still can't kiss my own neck

I wanted yo give you everything
But I still stand in awe of superficial things
I wanted to love you like
My mother's mother's mother did
Civilian, civilian

Note:

They used to be a couple, now they are best friends and also one of the most stirring bands around. Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack met at High School in Baltimore, Maryland. Together with two other friends they formed Wye Oak, the band name being a reference to the big white oak that used to be Maryland's honorary state tree. When the other two band members left Wye Oak, Andy -- who used to merely play the drums -- decided to back up Jenn's voice and guitar on keyboard and organ. The makeshift became the duo's trademark and seeing Andy play the keys with his left hand and drums with the right one is a more than commemorable sight
