Investments I made a little too late
I guess that’s my fault for being impatient with you on my mind
And now it’s too late, you’re halfway to Maine
Way up in a plane, and I’m down here waving
Bye bye bye, you’re not by my side
Cause you don’t know my pain, no
Yeah you just sit and wait
I can’t be there when you need me
But I wish I could
Something you said went straight to my head
All that I could see was red, so I got up and fled
And now I’m waiting on it again
‘Cause shit don’t matter when you’re thirty-four
Still stuck outside your door
I can’t be there when you need me
But I wish I could
And you, you’re messin’ with my head
You finally got me out of bed
But I can’t be there when you need me
But I wish I could
You just sit and wait for something
But I, I’m out, I’m out of time

Bye Bye Baby

Bye bye baby, you left me high and dry
And I’ll try baby, to leave you far behind
All I wanted was to end with you and I
But bye bye baby, I guess I’ll sit and cry
All I wanted was to buy you flowers
But now I’m waiting on you for hours and hours
So something’s gonna come to change my mind
But as it goes, I know I’m runnin’ out of time
It’s such a shame, that you had to blame all this shit on me again
You and your games, I had to refrain from all the things that happened then
I’m trying my hardest, you just don’t seem to notice
I love you is what you say, you just don’t mean it that way
All I wanted was to look into your eyes
Now I’m seeing all the half-truths and the lies
It’s such a shame, that you had to blame all this shit on me again
You and your games, I had to refrain from all the things that happened then
I’m trying my hardest, you just don’t seem to notice
I love you is what you say, you just don’t mean it that way
Nothin’ is working
I guess I’m just hurting
I know where I could’ve been wrong
No, nothing’s ever what it seems
I’m trying my hardest, you just don’t seem to notice
I love you’s what you said, you just don’t mean it that way

Paper Birds

Trying to get me to stop
Oh I try, but I can’t
Dying to hear you just talk
Oh I’d die just to hear you again
Over and over I’m pushing these boulders up walls
Shorter and shorter these days make me older I can’t complain, I can’t refrain
I’ve got two hands and my wrists and today, they’ll create
One million paper-made birds that will fly, but will break
Colder and colder, you give me that shoulder again
No rhyme or no reason explains all the treason you leI me with, it’s on your lips
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I’ve turned my hands into fists so today, I can break
One million paper-made birds that will fly, not today
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Understand

Still here, just trying, trying to erase
These lies I’m hiding, feelings out of place
Emotions borrowed, never feeling right
Cover your sorrow, keep it out of sight
But I’m in and out of hopes and doubts
I know I’m wrong
I’ve tried to say, couldn’t explain, the way I feel
I wanted you to understand
Working for hours, always in my head
Don’t know the person that’s laying in my bed
I’ve tried to tell you time and time again
Can’t get the words out, but I wish I could pretend
But I’m in and out of hopes and doubts
I know how wrong
I’ve tried to say, couldn’t explain, the way I feel
I wanted you to understand
I'm left inside, of these lines
Blocking out my mind, putting in my time
I'm left inside, of these lines
Blocking out my mind, putting in my time
I’ve tried to say, couldn’t explain, the way I feel
I wanted you to understand

Stay Clear

I’m not looking in
Time and time again
I’m not gonna face
These things I’ve ignored, leave me in this place
Running to nowhere, just trying to disappear
The feelings come again
You buy a helpful friend
Where’d it all begin
There’s nowhere to run so I’ll stay instead
Running to nowhere, just trying to disappear
Everything’s blurry, I wish it would just stay clear
Running to nowhere, just trying to disappear
Everything’s blurry, I wish it would just stay clear

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche.

This is undoubtedly my single favorite album of all time. It feels like such a perfect culmination of all the themes and ideas Fleet Foxes has been working with since 2008. It answers many of the questions found on both Helplessness Blues and Crack-Up, and represents an incredible maturation and growth in Robin Pecknold's perspective. Their other albums are certainly masterpieces, but this, in my opinion, is their magnum opus. I doubt it will be recognized as such in its time.
