  • Okay, this next song is kind of a big duet between me and you
    So if you know the words (hello)
    I wanna hear you sing it, 'kay? Great

    No, I know
    I'm a walking contradiction and it shows
    Got a history of being in control
    I'm aware that I could end up here alone
    But then we spoke
    I had a backbone made of glass and then it broke
    Now I stay up and I wait here by the phone
    If you're ready, all I mean is we could go

    And I've never craved someone's affection
    As much as yours, thought I should mention that

    I bet all my money that I will lose to you and hand you my life
    Here's to hoping you're worth all my time
    And I might barely know you, but still
    Don't love you yet, but probably will
    Turn me into something tragic
    Just for you, I let it happen
    Red Rocks, I love you so much
    I let it happen

    But it's fine
    'Cause I can tell that I'm projecting half the time
    I lack context, so I've made up all these lies
    It's the only thing that helps me sleep at night, oh

    And now I'm looking in the mirror
    You made me vain, I can't believe I have to be her

    I bet all my money that I will lose to you and hand you my life
    Here's to hoping you're worth all my time
    I hope you're worth my time
    And I might barely know you, but still
    Don't love you yet but probably will
    Turn me into something tragic
    Just for you, I let it happen

    Well, I let it happen
    I let it happen
    I let it happen
    I let it happen

    You've turned all my skies to pouring rain
    Locked me out the house again
    Is this how you see me now?
    I'm reeling and I might
    Break the windows, let myself back in
    Lost it for a minute there
    Get my shit together, it's whatever, but I could die
    Knowing that you're probably out somewhere
    While I'm in my underwear
    Eating through my feelings, I'm still reeling, but it's fine
    Oh, thank God that you're not seeing this
    I'll spare you from everything
    If you would still have me I'll be waiting all my life
    Ah-ah

    I bet all my money that I will lose to you and hand you my life
    Here's to hoping you're worth all my time
    I hope you're worth my time
    And I might barely know you, but still
    Don't love you yet, I probably will
    Turn me into something tragic
    Just for you, I let it happen
    (I bet all my money that I will lose to you and hand you my life)
    Ooh, here's to hoping you're worth all my time
    I hope you're worth my time
    And I might barely know you, but still
    Don't love you yet, I probably will
    Turn me into something tragic
    Just for you, I let it happen

    Whatever happens, I'm letting it
    Whatever happens, I'm letting it
    Whatever happens, I'm letting it
    I'm letting it, I'm letting it

    Oh man, you guys are so unbelievable
    This is truly like the dream version of a show for us tonight
    And to be all outdoor, it just feels magical, it feels magical
    Thank you so much for having us here
    And there's so many familiar faces, and so many new faces
    Have any of you never been to a show of ours before? So many people, thank you
    Are you having a nice time? Okay, that's what we want
    I'm so beyond, yeah, just kind of out of my mind in shock that we get to do this even one single time
    Like, I mean, one show anywhere ever, let alone two nights at Red Rocks, it's such a dream and- Writer/s: Aaron Dessner, Audrey Hobert, Gracie Abrams
