YOUR BEST AMERICAN GIRL LYRICS !! -
If I could, I'd be your little spoon
And kiss your fingers forevermore
But, big spoon, you have so much to do
And I have nothing ahead of me
You're the sun, you've never seen the night
But you hear its song from the morning birds
Well, I'm not the moon, I'm not even a star
But awake at night I'll be singing to the birds
Don't wait for me, I can't come
Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me
But I do, I think I do
And you're an all-American boy
I guess I couldn't help trying to be your best American girl
You're the one
You're all I ever wanted
I think I'll regret this
Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me
But I do, I finally do
And you're an all-American boy
I guess I couldn't help trying to be the best American girl
Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me
But I do, I think I do

ONCE MORE TO SEE YOUR LYRICS !! -
In the rearview mirror, I saw the setting sun on your neck
And felt the taste of you bubble up inside me
But with everybody watching us, our every move
We do have reputations
We keep it secret
Won't let them have it
So come inside and be with me, alone with me
Alone, with me alone
If you would let me give you pinky promise kisses
Then I wouldn't have to scream your name
Atop of every roof in the city of my heart
If I could see you
Once more to see you
Come inside and be with me, alone with me
Alone, with me alone
If you would let me give you pinky promise kisses
Then I wouldn't have to scream your name
Atop of every roof in the city of my heart
If I could see you
Once more to see you
If I could see you
Once more to see you

PEARL DIVER LYRICS !! -
Hmm
Hmm
Treasure hunter, you are dead
The light of the world is fading
You cannot see the other end
Your body's lost all feeling
Those creatures of your woken mind
Don't fear them or their hunger
Forgive the sea, follow the tide
With the monsters on your shoulder
Pearl diver, dive, dive deeper
Pearl diver, dive, dive down
Pearl diver, dive, dive deeper
Pearl diver, dive, dive down
Oh, hunter, if you didn't want
The beautiful so badly
Perhaps you would've found it
In your spirit singing softly
But hunter, you were human
Don't forget it and go safely
And I, I'll live without you
Though the struggle will be daily
Pearl diver, dive, dive deeper
Pearl diver, dive, dive down
Pearl diver, dive, dive deeper
Pearl diver, dive, dive down
Oh, oh
Oh, ooh
Treasure hunter, you are dead
The light of the world is fading

FRANCIS FOREVER LYRICS !! -
I don't know what to do without you
I don't know where to put my hands
I've been trying to lay my head down
But I'm writing this at three AM
I don't need the world to see
That I've been the best I can be, but
I don't think I could stand to be
Where you don't see me
On sunny days I go out walking
I end up on a tree-lined street
I look up at the gaps of sunlight
I miss you more than anything
I don't need the world to see
That I've been the best I can be, but
I don't think I could stand to be
Where you don't see me
And autumn comes when you're not yet done
With the summer passing by, but
I don't think I could stand to be
Where you don't see me

I BET ON LOSING DOGS LYRICS !! -
My baby, my baby
You're my baby, say it to me
Baby, my baby
Tell your baby that I'm your baby
I bet on losing dogs
I know they're losing and I'll pay for my place by the ring
Where I'll be looking in their eyes when they're down
I'll be there on their side
I'm losing by their side
Will you let me, baby, lose on losing dogs?
I know they're losing and I'll pay for my place
By the ring
Where I'll be looking in their eyes when they're down
I wanna feel it
I bet on losing dogs
I always want you when I'm finally fine
How you'd be over me looking in my eyes when I come
Someone to watch me die
Someone to watch me die
I bet on losing dogs

I WILL LYRICS !! -
I will take good care of you
I will take good care of you
Everything you feel is good
If you would only let you
I will wash your hair at night
And dry it off with care
I will see your body bare
And still I will live here
So stay with me
Hold my hand
There's no need
To be brave
And all the quiet nights you bear
Seal them up with care
No one needs to know they're there
For I will hold them for you
Cause' all I ever wanted is here
All I ever wanted
All I want is
Always you
It's always you
And we're not out of the tunnel
I bet you though there's an end
Stay with me
Hold my hand
There's no need
To be brave
And while you sleep
I'll be scared
So by the time you wake
I'll be brave
I'll be brave
I'll be brave
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

[KimGhidorah]

Not gonna lie, I've been going through some grief and had a full-on breakdown as soon as she started playing Once More to See You even though I've heard this whole podcast ep before, and even though I've listened to the song a bunch of times since it's my favorite of hers. I know the song isn't at all about death but it has such a mournful sound to my ears. Hearing the line "If I could see you" destroyed me 💔

[plasti.clover]

17:43 is my fav song (I like all mitski songs but this is my 2nd fav song)

[minarifarted]

I love her voice so much like i can listen to her talk and sing for hours and not get tired of it

[sophiaglover]

Dang I think this might actually be my favorite performance from Mitski, everything sounds so fresh if that makes sense

[victor-rdlk]

everytime i have a breakdown i find myself here.

[sugarette_burn]

I need this on YouTube music/Spotify to play it on repeat the whole night through

[toadsupportgroup]

I’m pretending the guy is mads mikkelsen

[JJ]

13:22 my god imagine mitski being in love with you lol
