The War On Drugs - Buenos Aires Beach lyrics
[The War On Drugs - Buenos Aires Beach lyrics]
My barricades feel open now
So I leave behind a bridge
With a flag with a western wave
And a simple stitch to fix
I'll hold myself together now as you
Take me through the ditch
Where the sky crumbled on the floors
You'll sweep me off of my back
You'll save me from the rumble
You spoke of before
And the one who saved you
Ain't the one who you were banking on
When your highs were cutting through my lows
Enter through the side door please
I know you wish to speak to me
Of old neglected promises of stolen souvenirs
How you could hear the ocean
But you could not see the breeze
When the sky was setting on
A Buenos Aires beach
And the sun was shining on the
One I wish to see
And the plates are shifting under land
You're beatin' on the floors
You're sweeping on the same ones
You've been sweeping on
You're the one that saved me and
The one I was banking on
When your highs were cutting through my lows
So hold me up against the tree
You used to measure me in feet
And set your sights to green
And all the crosstown boys and on
They show up with the sea
Shells in their eyes
But, you know what they want
By the glow of your skin
And you can overdress for him
But it will soon grow old
Well this winter it came to pass
So much slower than the last
And now there's nothing left to grasp
In our hands and nothing left to catch
So they'll speak of the past
In the future perfect tense
Of places we will go before we grow old
So I leave behind a bridge
With a flag with a western wave
And a simple stitch to fix
I'll hold myself together now as you
Take me through the ditch
Where the sky crumbled on the floors
You'll sweep me off of my back
You'll save me from the rumble
You spoke of before
And the one who saved you
Ain't the one who you were banking on
When your highs were cutting through my lows
Enter through the side door please
I know you wish to speak to me
Of old neglected promises of stolen souvenirs
How you could hear the ocean
But you could not see the breeze
When the sky was setting on
A Buenos Aires beach
And the sun was shining on the
One I wish to see
And the plates are shifting under land
You're beatin' on the floors
You're sweeping on the same ones
You've been sweeping on
You're the one that saved me and
The one I was banking on
When your highs were cutting through my lows
So hold me up against the tree
You used to measure me in feet
And set your sights to green
And all the crosstown boys and on
They show up with the sea
Shells in their eyes
But, you know what they want
By the glow of your skin
And you can overdress for him
But it will soon grow old
Well this winter it came to pass
So much slower than the last
And now there's nothing left to grasp
In our hands and nothing left to catch
So they'll speak of the past
In the future perfect tense
Of places we will go before we grow old
