    When I feel overwhelmed I listen to this song, and I can't help but scream the lyrics. There are many times in our life where there is nothing we can do. And nothing we can say. And that's alright. This songs keeps reminding me of that, and it makes things so much easier. Thanks Fleetfoxes.

    Here are the actual lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    Penniless and tired with your hair grown long
    I was looking at you there and your face looked wrong
    Memory is a fickle siren's song
    I didn't understand
    In the gentle light as the morning nears
    You don't say a single word of the last two years
    Where you were or when you reached the frontier
    I didn't understand
    [Verse 2]
    See your rugged hands and a silver knife
    Twenty dollars in your hand that you hold so tight
    All the evidence of your vagrant life
    My brother, you were gone
    And you will try to do what you did before
    Pull the wool over your eyes for a week or more
    Let your family take you back to your
    Original mind
    [Interlude]
    There's nothing I can do
    There's nothing I can do
    There's nothing I can say
    There's nothing I can say, I can say
    [Outro]
    It's recording
    We're going?
    Yep

    Whoever mixed this track did a solid job! I really do appreciate the nuances between the instruments, highlighting between notation in certain segments, etc. It also helps that the song's good :)
