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
[PostChorus]
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
