1972 lyrics - Broken Social Scene

Back in 1972, I didn't really know

I never really knew how we were moving

'Cause we didn't come to light this loss

Just because

1972, I barely knew of

Lights and sounds and sparkle eyes and reasons to lose

It's ok, got the cemetery goal

Beauty can't console

Life leads, eyes bless

I've got it, you need it, we want it, it's dead

House calm, wives left, we're dying here, we're dying here

I've got it, you need it, we want it, it's love

I've seen it, I've heard it, I steal it, it's death

We're dying, we're dying, we're dying

Blinking in the bright light with you

I really have to believe that everyone and everything

Just shines for the one to find this is loss

And just because

Sparkle like you would for them

Preyed upon, I prayed within

The hearth, the home, the house, the sin that waits until then

The call, the home, the shape, the dead, the centuries dying

Life leads, eyes bless

I've got it, you need it, we want it, it's dead

House calm, wives left, we're dying here, we're dying here

I've got it, you need it, we want it, it's love

I've seen it, I've heard it, I steal it, it's death

We're dying, we're dying, we're dying
