Alsatian Darn Lyrics
Whenever I come out from my shell
I only feel a chill
Whenever I come out from my shell
That it might work out, work out, work out
No, I won't let it slip up
No, I won't let it slide
No, I won't let it slip up
No, I won't do
I shouldn't let go
Drop a bomb on the spots
Where my doubt streams grow
That I want don't allow
For the handful of mouths
That I'm trying to feed
What you've got to do
What you've got to do
What you've got to do
So I can't get sleeping at night
Say what it is I want to say, say
Say what?
Say what it is I want to say, say
Say what?
Say what it is I want to say, say
Say what?

When Noah sings "Say can I make a bad mistake" that's my favourite part of the whole song. I can't even describe how I feel when I listen to it.

Missing a lot of lyrics. No idea how these get approved. I mean you completely missed the first part of the song.

life changing.

this song seems more like it's about doing work to support his family and how hard it is being away from them

I'm pretty sure that line is:
Say, can I make a bad mistake? Say what it is I want to set straight Say what?

This song is just so beautiful it moves me to tears. The riffs near the middle and closing are so powerful and say so much without any lyrics; so much strength lies beneath the surface of this song. I already know that Tomboy is going to be by new favorite album, replacing Merriweather Post Pavilion.

In the last section of the song I could be wrong but I swear he's saying
Say, can I make up that mistake; Say what it is I want to say to you; say what;
I think this song is about being misrepresented/wanting to set the record straight... maybe having something to do with everyone calling him the king of chill wave and him not wanting anything to do with it. Just a feeling... Favorite song on the album.

This song is INCREDIBLE

This song is so beautiful. I agree with cplus's comment, this song reminds me of the theme in My Girls.

This song is brilliant. The way the vocals are layered so much that it forms itself into the song as if it were its own instrument entirely, the eerie chord changes, the melodies, the anthemic chant of "got to do what you got to do"... This is such a beautiful, amazing song. It is 3 years later and I still can't stop listening to it.
