"Dangerous Knife (the Night is a Knife)" From I Think You Should Leave Season 2

Vampire Weekend Dangerous Knife (the Night is a Knife) extended

life and love are complicated. expectations about who we should be and how life should go abound, and sometimes they help propel us into the next stage. other times, they can put a timeline on us that ends up making us feel disappointed and discouraged.

I wrote a song about a love unfolding at its own pace, a life that treds its own path. it’s called “DESIRE PATHS,” which is a reference to walking paths created by people walking off the paved road. you may have seen them and even walked on them. if we’re being honest, I think we all have at some point.

this song is very special to me, and I hope you enjoy it! the sprawling love song DESIRE PATHS” is out FEBRUARY 14!

There Is

chess set 
and the living rooms were tangerine 
and chaucer 
why won't you try something for me 
(you're enough for me) 
instead of living in memories 

chess set 
(just hold him while he's still alive) 
and the memories were tangerine 
(your golden crane, your satellite) 
and your chaucer? 
don't you know? 
why don't you try something for me 
something for me 
something 
instead of living in memories 

drop 
something fell into the summer 
and we fell into the summer 
and we fell into our place now 
we better fall back into place 

drop 
drop 
drop
