Lyrics
[Verse 1]
For the wolves we fought
When a child was brave
Days on a Southern strand
Where we'd all pretend to be tourin'
And I'd wait all night
For the smile you saved
Or how the wind would howl
Better head back now, it's a warnin'
[Verse 2]
We were swimmin' out so far this time
Sun and your eyes were the only fire
Pretty intimate so far, so I lit a holy fire
[Verse 3]
So we all gather our ghosts
Around the island flames
Oh, and the song she throws
Is not one I know
But it knew me
For an age long lost in time erased
Days when they called our names
Stories tucked away, you tell it to me
[Verse 4]
We were swimmin' out so far this time
Sun and your eyes were the only fire
Pretty intimate so far, so I lit a holy fire
[Verse 5]
Take me back to places I feel loved in
Maybe failing that, take me to Boston
Strange that I'm not seein' you as often
Wanderin' 'round in cities I feel lost in
What if all the costs are even?
[Verse 6]
We were swimmin' out so far this time
(Take me to Boston, Boston)
Sun and your eyes were the only fire
(Take me back to places I feel loved in, loved in)
Pretty intimate so far, so I
(Wanderin' 'round in cities I feel lost in)
Eyes of eye, eyes of, a holy fire
