Primitive Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the night is young in the land I'm from
This season's ghost still lives
The stars at night obscured by light

Can still lead me through this

[Chorus]
Don't know where I want to be
But I'm glad that you're with me
And all I know is it'd be easy to leave


[Verse 2]
And in my mind I can see the street
Where you and I will live
You still can't see the stars at night
But were not primitive


[Chorus]
Don't know where I want to be
But I'm glad that you're with me
And all I know is it'd be easy to leave

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Courtney isn’t sure exactly what the future holds with him and his girl (for example, where they might spend the rest of their life), but by saying “will live” he is saying that he doesn’t know how, where, or when, it will happen, but that it WILL happen. There is no doubt that in the end, they will be together.
