Don't you miss the breathlessness
The wildness in the eye?
Come home late in the morning light
Bloodshot dreams under streetlight spells
A truth no one can tell
And I was still a secret to myself
Light me up, I'm wasted in the dark
Rushmere, restless hearts in the end
Get my head out of the ground
Time don't let us down again
Take me back to empty lawns
And nowhere else to go
You say, "Come get lost in a fairground crowd"
Where no one knows your name
There's only honest mistakes
There's no price to a wasted hour
Well, light me up, I'm wasted in the dark
Rushmere, restless hearts in the end
And get my head out of the ground
Time don't let us down again
What's lost is gone and buried deep
Take heart and let it be
Don't lie to yourself
There's madness and magic in the rain
There's beauty in the pain
Don't lie to yourself
Well, light me up, I'm wasted in the dark
Rushmere, restless hearts
There's something we might miss
A whole life in a glimpse
Well, I'm still working it out
Time don't let us down again
'Cause I won't wait
Get my head out of the ground
Time don't let us down again
When the morning comes I find myself just missin' you Find myself just wishin' You were laying by my side
But as my day goes on I'm wonderin' if you're missing me Wonderin' if you're wishing We were laying side by side
Let me know if you Feel the way I do I get the message loud and clear Let yourself come home Forget the others bring it Here is where your love belongs Here is where your love belongs Here is where your love belongs
But when my evening comes I'm wishin' I was kissing you I'm fishin' for the words To lay on you to make it right Make it right Make it right, yeah
Let me know if you Feel the way I do I get a message loud and clear Let yourself come home Forget the others bring it Here is where your love belongs Here is where your love belongs Here is where your love belongs Here is where your love belongs
Can you taste the iron on their skin They have bled and hardened Cold and saltwater their only friends Their heaviness is beautiful But your arms weren't made to be winches Sunlight is only so strong The rope is only so long and the water is so, so deep Stop tying yourself to anchors You wonder why you can't breathe and you're drowning in anger Stop tying yourself to anchors This love you found will drag you down it's in your nature And your heart's a home for each sad stranger But you gotta stop falling in love with anchors Don't forget that you're a child of things that grow You can't plant your roots in the salt Boy, you can't drink the ocean You're sailing on corpses Chasing the ghosts of the deep with their lonely lures And it's not love, no it's not love To drown for the glow and pretend you don't see teeth Stop tying yourself to anchors You wonder why you can't breathe and you're drowning in anger Stop tying yourself to anchors This love you found will drag you down it's in your nature And if your sorrows were seeds You could build an armada with the trees you've planted and grown But you'd jump from the ship and drown in your fears You're afraid of being alone Stop tying yourself to anchors You wonder why you can't breathe and you're drowning in anger Stop tying yourself to anchors This love you found will drag you down it's in your nature And your heart's a home for each sad stranger But you gotta stop tying yourself to anchors
