You broke my heart to save our one true chance to grow old year-by-year
Forever we're dancing away a summer's night without all the rain
You can rely on me honey I'll always remain
You’re confident you know you're my best friend
You're the thoughts in my mind that I can't comprehend
Like you and me living two worlds so departed
Forever you're the only one who'll mend my heart
Lie on the ceiling stare up at the floor
Fall upstairs to answer quiet knocks on my back door
There's water in the streets and roots in the sky
Wind blows away my mind I'm up all night
The earth don't spin unless I'm by your side
One day together babe we'll flip the world upright
We're gonna flip the world upright
Don't speed to find me babe but don't you drive slow
I'll be here waiting in the place that you know
Shoes hang in windows and no one knows my name
Now that you're gone I'm the only one to blame
For a heart that hardened with each shortening breath
The undeserved tears that your blue eyes wept
That seeped into the cracks I carved in the ground and
Slowly but surely tipped our world up side down
Lie on the ceiling stare up at the floor
Fall upstairs to answer quiet knocks on my back door
There's water in the streets and roots in the sky
Wind blows away my mind I'm up all night
The earth don't spin unless I'm by your side
One day together babe we'll flip the world upright
We're gonna flip the world upright
Don't deny it, in your diary I saw you wrote how you still love me
The imprint of the words that have all been erased Fifth line, third page
You want to see me as I do you
You wish it felt the way it used to
And I can tell you it's coming soon

I have been out of the Wilco loop for a while now, but this album has pulled me back in. I adore it. Tweedy and co. know how to write gentle, heartfelt songs while adding just the right amount of unusual synth additions. The second half of the record ends INCREDIBLY strongly. If you've been out of Wilco for a while like me, check it out. BobandoCommando
The Oh Hellos have come to hold a very special place in my heart, not just in this album, but in others as well. Hello My Old Heart was one of the first songs I ever heard by them, and it's been a treasured journey listening to them ever since. ladyoforion
