Album: For Emma, Forever Ago

Lyrics

Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in the moment this order's tall

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different "kind"
I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love what happened here
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full; so slow on the split

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
Now all your love is wasted?
Then who the hell was I?
Now I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?

[Ilonaaproductions]

the awkard moment when people actually think that Birdy's version is the original song

[lunchboxdays]

I had to come here to cleanse myself of Birdy's cover.

[MAMSgirl0425]

Everybody just stop comparing both birdys and bon ivers singing. Skinny Love by Bon Iver is the original. Get over it. If you wanna listen to Birdy's version then by all means go listen to it! You dont need permission? Because truthfully nobody cares who you like better. It's as simple as that.

I hate how Birdy's cover has more views than the original. It's not that bad or anything, but it's annoying that she's getting more recognition for it when it's not even her song.

god !!

[xdatgrlx]

I hate that you can only find Birdys version for your ipod.

@WhaddupDoc72 nope, I hate it too.... and the thing is, I wouldn't even hate it as much as I do if she even attempted to give the slightest acknowledgement to Justin Vernon/Bon Iver for this masterpiece of a song.

@GloriousBrilliance can't tell if you're trolling or just woefully misinformed...

[NessyV10]

@mathilde224 Agreed. This is a great original,but people need to get over their defensive-ass selves and just respect that the two are completely different you can't compare the two. I love both versions, it took guts for Birdy to try and cover such a perfect song...that's part of being an artist is creating great work like she's done with her other music AND turning this song into something else...even bringing a different meaning to the song. They not comparable at all people.

@GloriousBrilliance wait...are you for real? This IS the original

[dontblamethedutch]

@GloriousBrilliance This IS the original

[Lillylover100]

@WhaddupDoc72 NO. :)
