Alex G - Sarah Lyrics






Sarah runs to feel the burning in her lungs,
to clear her head
Do you know what Sarah meant
when she said,
you be my guest
to keep the pace
to save your face
you’ll never make the place,
but do you even run the race?

I can’t be what you need
I am stuck in a dream
I am stuck in a dream
Don’t you know
she’s been here all along
in a dream?
She belongs in a dream

Every day
I’ll make promises that plague Sarah’s heart
so I can watch her fall apart
'Cause I know when I break her down
we’ll spit on all the happy plans
that live around this sunny town
she loves me like a dog
and when we mess around
I’ll let her know the truth
I can’t rely on hope with fate
and every time I wake
I second guess the game I play
that I make a mistake

    this is the worst song i have ever heard in my life. Is this a joke?

  13. M.... M....

    Alex G's songs always bring me back to my childhood... messy, colorful friends' bedrooms that smell like clay, dog fur and fun, meeting at the park and playing with random kids, watching the trees and night lights from the backset of the car, playing make believe with random household objects, dancing weirdly to songs from the radio... didn't have an ideal childhood, but some feelings from it I will never be able to forget and experience again. Or so I thought. Alex G's music manages to bring me back to those good moments. Thank you, truly.

    PLEASE tell me what films you used!!! They look so cool and I really want to watch them but I can't find anything like that on YouTube!

  35. c.... b....

    this song hits hard. I dont know if it's the music or the lyrics or the video. I feel like I'm not me during the song. I'm one of those girls who are trying to be happy, altering their appearance. and also pain in my heart because we all know life isn't as good as it appears. imagine now in present time. they could be pain, and yet in this video they look like they could be them forever. it hits hard. I feel the urge to feel more carefree and not live in the past. because we dont know what the future holds. I'm eating myself away with my problems when maybe I should let go. I feel like everyone should let go a bit and take the time to truly be alive. its amazing how one song and one video can do this.

  36. c.... b....

    this song reminds me of sitting on the grass at school under the tree and laughing with the sun shining with my friend Amber. i miss her.

    dang I visited my hometown recently after being away for a whole year and this song always reminds me of sitting on the bus looking at the beach I used to love as a child and passing through my old neighbourhood and seeing how much it's changed, feeling so at peace but knowing it wasn't gonna last. i miss u vancouver

    Great Song!

  55. s.... l....

    I can never listen to this song again with the purity of heart I did the first time I heard it back in April of 2017... Fighting desperately with my heart who needed my boyfriend and first love so bad that I took a train to his place late at night... and had this playing on my ipod thinking it would make me feel better, but I broke down when he sings that part about making promises that will play with her heart.... OK Basically I am Sarah. And this hurts knowing everything sung was true. Such a beautiful and poignant song that will mark my teenage years for the rest of my life.

  56. Y.... ....

    They’re all Sarah

    When I get sad I normally just go on YouTube and try to find new music and read through the comments and read about everyone’s thoughts, yeah I don’t know a single one of you but music like this connects people.

  60. G.... A....

    This song is fucking beautiful I wish one day I can make music like this and have talent like his and Arthur Shea’s.:)

  61. r.... ....

    the lyrics in the description are wrong just pointin that out

  62. E.... P....

    someone wanna explain the video to me?

  63. P.... A....

    I'm here because I don't know how to use the Spotify app

  64. F.... M....

    That girl in the thumbnail is probably the cutest one I've ever seen. 😍

  65. L.... F....

    I loved this❤🍒💋

  66. J.... Z....

    Heard this in the show Flaked.

  68. M.... T....

    tfw no sarah gf

  69. I.... S....

    como sempre muito boa.

  70. m.... ....

    It's tragic. This seems to be a petulant boy's idolization and apathy for a girl named Sarah. In his misery he uses Sarah as an emotional punching bag not even knowing if he wants her around or not.

  71. 9.... y....

    I love 1970s girls 😍

    9.... y....

    96serpendity youarelostnotme it would be fifties to early 60

  72. E.... H....

    Damn, fast

  73. b.... ....

    this song, especially the instrumental, sounds like it could play at the end of a really emotional movie during a flashback compilation scene like this

  74. T.... R....

    "Durhurr white people ain't got no culture duhurrr"

  75. C.... o....

    Came on after a Yo La Tengo song and flowed perfectly. Alex G rocks.

  76. M.... B....

    A movie that hasn't been made yet brought me here.

    Sarah runs to feel the burning in her lungs,
    to clear her head
    Do you know what Sarah meant
    when she said,

    to keep the pace
    to save your face
    you’ll never make the place,
    but do you even run the race?

    I can’t be what you need
    I am stuck in a dream
    I am stuck in a dream
    Don’t you know
    she’s been here all along 
    in a dream?
    She belongs in a dream

    Every day
    I’ll make promises that plague Sarah’s heart
    so I can watch her fall apart
    'Cause I know when I break her down
    we’ll spit on all the happy plans
    that live around this sunny town
    she loves me like a dog
    and when we mess around

    I can’t rely on hope with fate
    and every time I wake
    I second guess the game I play
    that I make a mistake

  82. S.... M....

    Can someone explain to me the meaning of the lyrics? I'm trying to understand them but I don't think I do.

    Looks like Alex G is just using Sarah as a rebound to get over his dream girl
