Maggie Rogers - The Kill -- Live on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

 Maggie Rogers - The Kill 

One of these days
I’m gonna wake up smiling 
One of these days 
I’m gonna cry 

When all of the years start to blend in together 
I watch ‘em disappear in your eyes

Remember the days we used to drive upstate
Singing indie rock songs in the car 
You wore your fresh leather 
And blamed it on the weather 
For being the reason you were 

So difficult, but so invincible
Irresistible, but I loved you still 
You kept my secrets and stole my weaknesses
In your white t-shirt, but I couldn’t fill 
The shoes you laid down for me
From the girls that came before 
I was all the way in
You were halfway out the door
Oh I was an animal making my way up the hill
And you were going in for 
The kill 

And you were going in for 
The kill

One of these days I’m gonna 
Wake up fresh and 
Wipe all the past from my eyes 

Curl up next to you in tall grass, sunshine
And wrap my body’s shape round your side 

Remember the days we used to ideate
About what we would do all our lives
I’d be a singer and an old bourbon drinker
Oh and we’d have a band on the side 

I know I was 
So difficult, but so invincible
Irresistible, but you loved me still 
I kept your secrets and stole your weaknesses
In your white t-shirt, but you couldn’t fill 
The shoes I laid down for you 
From the guys that came before
You were all the way in 
I was halfway out the door
Oh you were an animal making your way up the hill
And I was going in for
The kill 

Oh, all of our lives
Was it worth it? 
Ooh or were we just wasting time? 
Cause we were hurting 
But I know that you know
That I know you best and
I know that we both 
Could forget all the rest 
If we both can 
Admit that 

We both were 
So difficult, but so invincible
irresistible, but I loved you still 
You kept my secrets and stole my weaknesses
In your white t-shirt, but I couldn’t fill 
The shoes you laid down for me 
From the ones that came before 
I was all the way in 
You were halfway out the door
Oh I was an animal making my way up the hill 
And you were going in for 
The kill 

Oh I was going in for
The kill 

Oh we were going in for 
The kill
