The Tower - Future Islands

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

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

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

I, I, I am watching on the other side, sighs

Looked out into every, nil and nigh

Lie, tell myself it’s darkest when it’s quite bright

Everything grows stronger in the light

In the light, in the light

Standing at the sea and swallowing

Without you, beside you

But you knew

What I knew

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 am watching, I am waiting

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
