[Spoken, continued from previous track: Matt Berninger]
Just start it from the very beginning of the record
[Verse 1]
Ada, don't talk about reasons why you don't wanna talk
About reasons why you don't wanna talk
Now that you got everybody you consider sharp
All alone, all together, all together in the dark
[Refrain]
Leave it all up in the air
Leave it all up in the air
Leave it all
Up in the air
[Chorus]
Ada, put the sounds of your house in a song
Try to be speechless for a minute
If you think you're gonna faint, go out in the hallway
Let them all have your neck
Ada, don't stay in the lake too long
It lives alone and it barely knows you
It'll have a nervous breakdown and fall
Into a thousand pieces around you
[Verse 2]
Stand inside an empty tuxedo with grapes in my mouth
Waiting for Ada
Ada, hold onto yourself by the sleeves
I think everything counts a little more than we think
[Refrain]
Leave it all up in the air
Leave it all up in the air
Leave it all
Up in the air
[Bridge]
Ada
Ada
Ada
Ada, I can hear the sound of your laugh through the wall
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
Ada, don't talk about reasons why you don't wanna talk
About reasons why you don't wanna talk
Now that you got everybody you consider sharp
All alone, all together, all together in the dark
[Refrain]
Leave it all up in the air
Leave it all up in the air
Leave it all up in the air
[Outro]
Ada
Ada
Ada
Ada, I can hear the sound of your laugh through the wall
Ada
Ada
Ada
Ada, I've been hoping you know your way around
[Audience Cheering]
[Spoken: Matt Berninger]
I'm gonna start telling you all the backstory to all these songs
And I don't remember most of the backstory so I'll make it up
This song...actually no, I'm not gonna say anything about this
This is called "Gospel"
I'm not gonna ruin this one
