Creatures Lyrics - Maggie Rogers

1 Well I've lived a short life

2 Not a lot of things that I've seen

3 But in that short life

4 A lot of things that I've been

5 I've been a daughter

6 And a sister too

7 I've been in trouble

8 And I've been in love with you

9 And we are all just creatures, baby

10 Fumbling towards the light

11 And I'm crawling on my knees now, baby

12 Won't you make my heart alright?

13 Won't you make my heart alright?

14 Well there is an old house

15 That I think about sometimes

16 With creaky floorboards

17 And height marks of a outgrown child

18 And it burnt down sometime ago

19 Or so it would seem

20 And I still see it's dying colors

21 In the autumn leaves

22 And we are all just creatures, baby

23 Longing to be free

24 And if we're all just creatures, baby

25 Won't you give my heart to me?

26 Won't you give your heart to me?

27 Well used to swim the river

28 Once or twice every year

29 But I found out that the river

30 It was often insincere

31 So now I dip my toes in

32 Still hoping to get wet

33 But without my whole body

34 My fate, it has been set

35 And we are all just creatures, baby

36 Grounded by our fear

37 And if you're scared of love, now baby

38 You'll know only loneliness and tears

39 Only loneliness and tears

40 And I may only be a creature

41 But I'm still fumbling towards the light
