    Lyrics:
    All this time I'd never let you go
    And now the same chains that I kept you in
    They're holding down my soul
    I set you up, I gave you life, I dragged you out the fire
    And now you knocked me down, and you shut me out
    And I can see it in your eyes
    Somehow you got it in your head
    That you could make it on your own
    You were sheltered, loved and fed
    But you just couldn't leave it alone
    Leave it alone, leave it alone
    Leave it alone, leave it alone
    Leave it alone, leave it alone
    Leave it alone, leave it alone
    Well your heart was here
    Resting on my lap
    And I'd do it all again
    But I'm never coming back
    Well I know I'm lying
    Lying in the cold
    Yeah there's snow on the ground, and if I know myself
    I'll be leaving down the road
    I've been all around the world
    But I got nowhere to go
    I gave into this lonely life
    And you can't change me now, so leave it alone
    Leave it alone, leave it alone
    Leave it alone, leave it alone
    Leave it alone, leave it alone
    Leave it alone, leave it alone
    The ghosts are on the green
    Each and every night
    Oh, the distant light
    That's the hardest part to take
    That's the heart of all my pain
    Lying in the cold
    Oh, the distant light
    In a hue we can't describe, still we know
    Could it all be over now
    We've seen it all the while
    There's no dimension to the clouds
    The moon and world around
    That's the heart of all my pain
    'Cause I don't want to go
    Oh, the distant light
    In a hue we can’t describe, still we know

      This started popping up in the mix for The Shins Simple song. It’s beautiful but I still love Simple Song more currently.

    "Leave it alone" is a personal favourite and could quite possibly be Broken Bells masterpiece, an incredibly soulful and touching song which is relatable to all, the instrumental accompanying the beautiful lyrics enrich the symbolic nature of what the song is trying to say, and that is even after heart ache and misery brought on by ones perception of their partner leads them on the path of being alone, which is that of individuality and one should embrace the choices that they have made. The listener can put themselves in the shoes of the singer as we have all felt the tough, arduous times of leaving the ones we love. The singing by James Mercer is on another level of brilliance, the passion and meaning behind what he is trying to represent can be felt in ways in which i did not believe he had in him. Overall, this song is fantastic, everybody needs to listen to this and without a shadow of doubt they will be in love with Broken Bells after it.
    If you dont agree, i guess you should just "Leave it alone"

    Leave it alone, leave it alone
    Leave it alone, leave it alone
    Leave it alone, leave it alone
    Leave it alone, leave it alone

    Well your heart was here
    Resting on my lap
