One comes of it, love it, love it
Let go of it, love comes from it
We're not of this world for long
Faith and promise, keep me honest
When starvation falls upon us
Daylight told me he would be
Gone with cold words spoke among hers
Wretched is the tongue of their world
We're not of that world at all
We will never be
Wouldn't it be fine to stand behind
The words we say in the best of times
Oh, and you and I know all too well
About the hell and paradise right here on earth
Keep it, use it, build it, move it
Claims can't touch how time will prove it
Watch us fly as loud as we can
Let her heartbeat change what I am now
Wouldn't it be fine to stand behind
The words we say in the best of times
Oh, and you and I know all too well
About the hell and paradise right here on earth
Let go of it, love comes from it
We're not of this world for long
Faith and promise, keep me honest
When starvation falls upon us
Daylight told me he would be
Gone with cold words spoke among hers
Wretched is the tongue of their world
We're not of that world at all
We will never be
Wouldn't it be fine to stand behind
The words we say in the best of times
Oh, and you and I know all too well
About the hell and paradise right here on earth
Keep it, use it, build it, move it
Claims can't touch how time will prove it
Watch us fly as loud as we can
Let her heartbeat change what I am now
Wouldn't it be fine to stand behind
The words we say in the best of times
Oh, and you and I know all too well
About the hell and paradise right here on earth

Very pretty song, IMHO
Since all the comments are 9 years old, and that I arrived here from my favorites list, this tune is on an irregular rotation on RP.
Me likes it.

same route 1 year later brought me to "Life"

Avett Brothers
One comes of it, love it, love it
Let go of it, love comes from it
Weâre not of this world for long
Faith and promise keep me honest
When starvation falls upon us
Daylight told me here I'd be
Gone with cold words spoke among hers
Wretched in the tongue of their world
Weâre not of that world at all, we will never be
Wouldnât it be fine to stand
Behind the words we say
In the best of times
Oh, and you and I know all too well
About the hell and paradise
Right here on earth
Keep it, use it, build it, move it
Flames canât touch how time will prove it
Watch us fly as loud as we can
Let her heartbeat change what I am now
Wouldnât it be fine to stand
Behind the words we say
In the best of times
Oh, and you and I know all too well
About the hell and paradise
Right here on earth
..i know posting lyrics is sorta frowned upon, but these seem worth it..(besides cellph users don't have the lyric link)..

I love these guys. Their songs are so personal.
Wow! Saw these guys last year in Paradiso in Amsterdam. Stunning show!! And From what i've heard so far this album would be a great addition to my CD collection...

I like what Ive heard from this new album. It seems to me that the Avett's lost some of their jam band charm with 'I and Love and You' and this album. But on the flip-side, i didn't know about them before 'I and Love and You', and I only know that I like some of their earlier works better by exploring them in retrospect. Sort of a double edged sword in that respect I suppose.
