The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
So True
[Chorus]
So true
So true
So true
So true

[Verse 1]
Olga steals drinks from distracted men in bars
While she dreams of the Soviets’ return
It’s the price they pay for thinking anyone her age
Hear what they say

[Pre-Chorus 1]
If you don’t wake up looking like death in the grass
How do you know that you’re not like the rest
And I know that you’re not gonna rest
And I know that you’re really

[Chorus]
So true
So true

[Verse 2]
Ylva chains herself to a rig in the sea
And nearly dies in the week she’s there
But in a city sick with wealth and little else
It’s good to feel nothing at all
If you don’t lose some skin for the things you believe
How can you know that you really do
And I know that you really do
And I know that you’re really

[Chorus]
So true
So true
So true
So true

[Verse 3]
Now you’re tied to each other
But by winter you’ll wonder
If boredom was just an excuse
For locking your arms as the black passing cars
Cast silhouettes of your youth

[Pre-Chorus 3]
If you don’t lose your breath for the things you believe
How do you know that you really do
And I know that you really do
And I know that you’re really

[Extended Chorus]
So true
So true
So true
So true
So true
So true
But I could never be
So true
Oh
So true
But I could never be
So true
So true
But I could never be, I could never be
So true
I could never be, I could never be
So true
I could never be, I could never be
So true
But I could never be, I could never be
So true
