"So Long" lyrics - THE LUMINEERS

Find yourself the lover
Give it to another like I did
Don't know 'til you try it
Break it so you buy it like I did

[Pre-Chorus:]
And if you wanted something better
Why'd you never bother to find it?

[Chorus:]
Sit in isolation all the time
I'll be on the ocean in your eyes
Tell it on the mountain, "He's arrived"
Everybody's famous for awhile

[Post-Chorus:]
So long
So long

Flies are on the food
Sleepin' with your shoes on the sofa
Blinds down in the day
Won't somebody break up my coma?

[Pre-Chorus:]
And if you ever felt the presence
Would you ever let it control you?

[Chorus:]
Sit in isolation all the time
I'll be on the ocean in your eyes
Tell it on the mountain, "He's arrived"
Everybody's famous for awhile

[Post-Chorus:]
So long
So long

[Instrumental break]

Prescribe me your elixir
Need it just a bit more to save me
Songs up in the attic
And moths are eating blankets for babies

[Bridge:]
And if you lost your way to Heaven
Buy another ladder from Jacob
Needed it to matter
I don't care if your family hates it

[Chorus:]
Sit in isolation all the time
I'll be on the ocean in your eyes
Tell it on the mountain, "He's arrived"
Maybe we'll be famous when we die

[Post-Chorus:]
So long
So long
So long
So long
