The National - High Beams lyrics

Take your time, use a year That should cover what I owe you And some things that you will never know I wear your clothes til you come home You'll know me by the way I'm dressed And now they seem to fit me, better than my own I give to you the safe side of the (cup?) But I am tall as high beams, shine up my back And I am straight as briars, come bending past Just look for branches tied in bows, 'cause I love you to ribbons And you can take them with you as you go I took the hairpins from your head And tried to ask them why they led you To believe that you should live alone I give to you the safe side of the cup But I am as tall as high beams, shine up my back And I am straight as briars, come bending past Take my brother's pistol put it in your bag Take my winter jacket and put it in your bag Take my brother's pistol put it in your bag Take my winter jacket and put in your bag I give to you the safe side I give to you the safe side I give to you the safe side of the cup But I am tall as high beams, shine up my back And I am straight as briars, come bending past You go shine it on these You go shine it on these You go shine it on these
