The Lighthouse

Lyrics

[Verse 1 - Sims] She sang me to sleep with my favorite song And in the morning when I woke, the girl was gone She didn't leave a note but she took the dogs It's a wild world out there And I don't blame her for the way she act defensive Careful and pensive Motion was suspended when she said it Face red like a letter to the tenants Documented like it meant it The prices gettin' steeper every minute Every second that ticks, I study the lips She said we're further adrift [?] seemin' further a myth While we run through the flames of the cities and the hips The news said abandon hopes Stood on the roof and look below Watchin' all the panicked folk runnin' like the antelopes We cool, we know something that they'll never know All in all we stand our own Throwin' these dice tonight I tell her: [Chorus - Sims] Calm down relax your mind Come inside and pass some time See the lighthouse close for the night Baby this is wildlife We on our own tonight We spend our dawns runnin' with wolves In the afternoon swimmin' with sharks, but it's dark now And the lighthouse close for the night Baby this is wildlife We on our own tonight We on our own tonight Baby this is wildlife We on our own tonight [Verse 2 - Sims] We stood and let the ashes in the wind blow in our faces And for a second there, thought we found oasis But those were just the waves dancin' back and forth Playin' with the ships until they [**?**] course We spent some time thinkin' how something so benign, could carry so much force Lookin' at our charts Our bodies intertwine, while we walk this line I think I lost my mind, but she gon' find it for us Twenty-eight days later for the past twenty-eight years shaped her But she don't let the fear take her to the point of breakin' here The neighbors climbin' up the walls and achin' She said "love -- the only chance worth takin'" [Chorus - Sims] Calm down relax your mind Come inside and pass some time See the lighthouse close for the night Baby this is wildlife We on our own tonight We spend our dawns runnin' with wolves In the afternoon swimmin' with sharks, but it's dark now And the lighthouse close for the night Baby this is wildlife We on our own tonight We on our own tonight [Outro - Sims and voice samples] Listen! You might find the truth, you might find a lie Baby this is wildlife We on our own tonight Listen up! [?] [?] Listen! Calm down relax your mind Come inside and pass some time See the lighthouse close for the night Baby this is wildlife We on our own tonight We spend our dawns runnin' with wolves In the afternoon swimmin' with sharks, but it's dark now And the lighthouse close for the night Baby this is wildlife We on our own tonight We on our own tonight Baby this is wildlife We on our own tonight
