[Lyric] How Could I Strings Version (Thao & The Get Down Stay Down)

I was racing to your bedside
On, with no delay
How was I so far from you and why was I away?

You know you'd always say to me
You know I don't need a thing
You know you'd always say to me
You know I don't need a thing

I was singing to the strangers late into the night
I'll be singing to the strangers 'til the end of time
I know it can give so much
I know it takes everything
I know it can give so much
I know it takes everything

Are you relieved?
Are you revived?
Rid of sacrifice
Tell me a lifetime of love
And what did love provide?
Celebrate your life only upon thе day you die
We come from pеople who come from people who don't mind
I know I should have stayed right there
Your girl, just by your side
And when you opened those eyes
I know they should have landed on mine

I was racing to your bedside
On, with no delay
How was I so far from you and why was I away?

You know you'd always say to me
You know I don't need a thing
You know you'd always say to me
You know I don't need a thing
You know you'd always say to me
You know I don't need a thing
You know you'd always say to me
You know I don't need a thing

I just gotta see you once before you go
I just gotta see you once before you go
I just gotta see you once before you...

Oh, no, how could I?
Oh, no, how could I?
Oh, no, how could I?
Oh, no, how could I?
Oh, no, how could I?
Oh, no, how could I?
