Local Natives - Megaton Mile lyrics

Climbing up through the window
Up to the rooftop (Up to the rooftop)
The seagulls swarm on the rubble
All we could do was watch
(All we could do was watch)

Hit like a sucker punch
That you knew would come
Tell me what I could've done

Hold me close at the ending
In a flashing light it's darkest after dawn
On Megaton Mile

No alarms or pale riders
No teary-eyed anchors
(No teary-eyed anchors)
It took so long for it all
To change with just a word
(To change with just a word)

Abandoned cars on the freeway
A terracotta rush hour
You heard me calling out your name

Hold me close at the ending
In a flashing light it's darkest after dawn
On Megaton Mile january came and went early
In a flashing light it's darkest after dawn
On Megaton Mile

You said it was beautiful
As much as it was terrifying

Hold me close at the ending
In a flashing light it's darkest after dawn
On Megaton Mile
Oh, January came and went early
In a flashing light it's darkest after dawn
On Megaton Mile
