Despair - Lyrics - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Yeah Yeah Yeahs are an American indie rock band formed in New York City in 2000. The group is composed of vocalist and pianist Karen O, guitarist and keyboardist Nick Zinner, and drummer Brian Chase. They are complemented in live performances by second guitarist David Pajo, who joined as a touring member in 2009 and replaced Imaad Wasif who had previously held this role. According to an interview that aired during the ABC network's Live from Central Park SummerStage series, the band's name was taken from modern New York City vernacular.

Don't despair, you're there, From beginning to middle to end. Don't despair, You're there through my wasted days, You're there through my wasted nights. Oh despair, You've always been there, you're alaways been. You're there through my wasted years. Through all my lonely fears, no tears. Will run through my fingers, tears, They're stinging my eyes, no tears. If it's all in my head, there's nothing to fear, Nothing to fear inside. Through the darkness and the light Some sun had gotta rise. My sun is your sun, Their sun is our sun. My sun is your sun, Their sun is our sun. Oh despair, you were there through my wasted days, You're there through my wasted nights, You're there through my wasted years, You're there through my wasted life! You've always been there, you're alaways been. You're there through my wasted years. Through all my lonely fears, no tears. Will run through my fingers, tears, They're stinging my eyes, no tears. If it's all in my head, there's nothing to fear, Nothing to fear inside. Through the darkness and the light Some sun had gotta rise. My sun is your sun, Their sun is our sun. Sun has gotta rise. My sun is your sun, Their sun is our sun. Sun has gotta rise.
