Brand New - Play Crack the Sky lyrics
[Brand New - Play Crack the Sky lyrics]
We sent out the SOS call
It was a quarter past four in the morning
When the storm broke our second anchor line
Four months at sea four months of calm seas
To be pounded in the shallows off
The tip of Montauk Point
They call 'em rogues
They travel fast and alone
One hundred foot faces of God's
Good ocean gone wrong
What they call love is a risk
Cause you will always get hit
Out of nowhere by some wave
And end up on your own
The hole in the hull
Defied the crew’s attempts to bail us out
And flooded the engines and radio
And half-buried bow
Your tongue is a rudder
It steers the whole ship
Sends your words past your lips
Keeps them safe behind your teeth
But the wrong words will strand you
Come off course while you sleep
Sweep your boat out to sea
Or dashed to bit's on the reef
The vessel groans
The ocean pressures it's frame
To the port I see the lighthouse
Through the sleet and the rain
And I wish for one more day to give my
Love and repay debts
But the morning finds our bodies
Washed up 30 miles west
They say that the captain stays
Fast with the ship through still and storm
But this ain't the Dakota
And the water's cold (so cold)
Won't have to fight for long
(This is the end)
This story's old but it goes on and on
Until we disappear (This is the calm)
Calm me and let me taste
The salt you breathed
While you were underneath
(We are the risen) i am the one who haunts
Your dreams of mountains sunk below the sea
(After the storm)
I spoke the words but never gave a thought
To what they all could mean
(Rest in the deep)
I know that this is what you want
A funeral keeps both of us apart
(Washed up on the beach)
You know that you are not alone
I need you like water in my lungs
(This is the end)
This story's old but it goes on and on
Until we disappear (This is the calm)
Calm me and let me taste
The salt you breathed
While you were underneath
(We are the risen) i am the one who haunts
Your dreams of mountains sunk below the sea
(After the storm)
I spoke the words but never gave a thought
To what they all could mean
(Rest in the deep)
I know that this is what you want
A funeral keeps both of us apart
(Washed up on the beach)
You know that you are not alone
I need you like water in my lungs
This is the end
Never to see any other way!
It was a quarter past four in the morning
When the storm broke our second anchor line
Four months at sea four months of calm seas
To be pounded in the shallows off
