The Tower

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Threw a bottle Across the water To someone who's Thinking of me There's a tower In the ocean Pouring through me That's my will and testament [Chorus] I, I, I am waiting on the other side, sigh Looked out into everything and I lie, tell myself, "It's nothing", when it's quite right Everything grows stronger in the light [Verse 2] When a boy who Played with razors Met a girl who Opened cages All the birds flew Through the graveyard And their laughter Was contagious [Chorus] I, I, I am watching on the other side, sigh Looked out into every nil and nigh Lie, tell myself it's darkest when it's quite bright Everything grows stronger in the light [Post-Chorus] In the light In the light In the light [Bridge] Standing at the sea and swallowing Without you, beside you But you knew what I knew [Chorus] I, I, I am waiting on the other side, sigh Looked out into everything and I lie, tell myself, "It's nothing", when it's quite right Everything goes, everything grows I, I, I am watching, I am waiting I, I, I am waiting, I'm not breaking I lie, tell myself, "It's okay", when it's not quite Everything grows stronger in the light
