Elijah Lyrics - Lake Street Dive - Lake Street Dive

Elijah has brains and long legs and wears jeans at his hip 

and nary a girl in the world has been missed by his grip 

He's long curly hair, that when wet, goes as far as his chin 

and his knowledge of poets and punks is debatably thin 

The thing i like most about him is what I see on the surface 

Like two distant shores, we are bound by a love that's an isthmus 

Oh Elijah! 

Elijah, he lay in psychosis one bright sunny day 

and even in sleep I cannot make myself walk away 

So pretty was he, I said something I couldn't retract 

and so for three years, he spent most of his time in the sack

Although it's November, I know we won't make it to christmas 

Like two distant shores, we are bound by a love that's an isthmus 

Oh Elijah!

Elijah once told me in private that he'd like a break 

although he revealed through his actions that he was a fake 

And so, then in public I told him that he's too dependent 

and now to this day I maintain that I am unrepentant 

All he can see through the tunnel is none of his business 

Like two distant shores, we are bound by a love that's an isthmus 

Oh Elijah!
