Little Talks
Of Monsters And Men
Dirty Paws Jumping up and down the floor, My head is an animal. And once there was an animal, It had a son that mowed the lawn. The son was an ok guy, They had a pet dragonfly. The dragonfly it ran away But it came back with a story to say. Her dirty paws and furry coat, She ran down the forest slope. The forest of talking trees, They used to sing about the birds and the bees. The bees had declared a war, The sky wasn’t big enough for them all. The birds, they got help from below, From dirty paws and the creatures of snow. And for a while things were cold, They were scared down in their holes. The forest that once was green
King and Lionheart Was colored black by those killing machines. But she and her furry friends Took down the queen bee and her men. And that’s how the story goes, The story of the beast with those four dirty paws.
Taking over this town, they should worry, But these problems aside I think I taught you well. That we won’t run, and we won’t run, and we won’t run. That we won’t run, and we won’t run, and we won’t run. And in the winter night sky ships are sailing, Looking down on these bright blue city lights. And they won’t wait, and they won’t wait, and they won’t wait. We’re here to stay, we’re here to stay, we’re here to stay. Howling ghosts they reappear In mountains that are stacked with fear But you’re a king and I’m a lionheart. A lionheart. His crown lit up the way as we moved slowly Pass the watering eyes of the ones that were left behind. Though far away, though far away,
though far away We’re still the same, we’re still the same, we’re still the same. Howling ghost they reappear In mountains that are stacked with fear But you’re a king and I’m a lionheart. And in the sea that’s painted black, Creatures lurk below the deck But you’re the king and I’m a lionheart. And as the world comes to an end I’ll be here to hold your hand Cause you’re my king and I’m your lionheart. A lionheart. x8 Howling ghost they reappear In mountains that are stacked with fear But you’re a king and I’m a lionheart. And in the sea that’s painted black, Creatures lurk below the deck But you’re the king and I’m a lionheart. A lionheart. x8
Your Bones
Love love love
In the Spring we made a boat Out of feathers, out of bones We set fire to our homes Walking barefoot in the snow Distant rhythm of the drum As we drifted towards the storm
Well maybe I’m a crook for stealing your heart away Yeah maybe I’m a crook for not caring for it Yeah maybe I’m a bad, bad, bad, bad person Well baby, I know
Baby lion lost his teeth now they’re swimming in the sea Troubled spirits on my chest Where they laid to rest The birds all left, my tall friend As your body hit the sand Million stars up in the sky Formed a tigers eye That looked down on my face Out of time and out of place So hold on Hold on to what we are Hold on to your heart Awakened by the sound Of a screaming owl Chasing leaves in the wind Going where we’ve never been Said goodbye to you, my friend As the fire spread
All that’s left are your bones That will soon sink like stones So hold on Hold on to what we are Hold on to your heart
And these fingertips, will never run through your skin Those bright blue eyes can only meet mine across a room Filled with people that are less important than you Because you love, love, love when you know I can’t love You love, love, love when you know I can’t love You love, love, love when you know I can’t love, you… So I think it’s best we both forget before we dwell on it The way you held me so tight all through the night
It was near morning Because you love, love, love when you know I can’t love You love, love, love when you know I can’t love You love, love, love when you know I can’t love, you...
Little Talks Hey! Hey! Hey! I don’t like walking around this old and empty house So hold my hand, I’ll walk with you, my dear The stairs creak as you sleep, it’s keeping me awake It’s the house telling you to close your eyes And, some days I can’t even trust myself It’s killing me to see you this way ‘Cause though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore Hey! Hey! Hey! There’s an old voice in my head that’s holding me back Well tell her that I miss our little talks Soon it will be over and buried with our past We used to play outside when we were young, And full of life and full of love Some days I don’t know if I am
wrong or right Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear ‘Cause though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore Hey! Don’t listen to a word I say Hey! The screams all sound the same Hey! Though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore You’re gone gone gone away I watched you disappear All that’s left is a ghost of you Now we’re torn torn torn apart, there’s nothing we can do Just let me go we’ll meet again soon Now wait wait wait for me Please hang around I’ll see you when I fall asleep
Hey! Don’t listen to a word I say Hey! The screams all sound the same Hey! Though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore Don’t listen to a word I say Hey! The screams all sound the same Hey!
Though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore Though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore Though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Lakehouse Oh I miss the comfort of this house Where we are, where we are Where we are, where we are The floor under our feet whispers out Come on in, come on in Where it all begins Can you chase the fire away Can you chase the fire away We climbed up to the top in worn out shoes But she ran down she ran down She ran down to the house A fox that gains our trust but breaks then it as he walks Away from us, away from us Can you chase the fire away Can you chase the fire away In the fall we sleep all day In the fall we sleep all day (Where we are) We sleep all day (Where we are) (Where we are) We sleep all day (Where we are) (Where we are) We sleep all day (Where we are)
Six Weeks Can you chase the fire away Can you chase the fire away In the fall we sleep all day In the fall we sleep all day Lalalalalalaaa lala lala lala lalaaah (Repeat 8 times)
Slow, slow me down Her blood on my bones Let go, lay to rest We fall, we fall, we fall We fall to the ground Sleep, sleep all night While the young, they wait alone Get up, shake the rust We crawl, we crawl, we crawl We crawl on the ground Alone, I fight these animals Alone, until I get home A wolf, wolf and I We share the same cold meal I float, float on down We ride, we ride, we ride We ride it all out Alone, I fight these animals Alone, until I get home Coming back, I’m coming back Coming back, I’m coming back She follows me into the woods Takes me home
Mountain Sound
Yellow Light
I heard them calling in the distance So I packed my things and ran Far away from all the trouble I had caused with my two hands
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh We sleep until the sun goes down Whoa-oh, whoa-oh We sleep until the sun goes down
Alone we traveled on With nothing but a shadow We fled, far away
Whoa-oh-oh-oh We sleep until the sun goes down
[Chorus] Hold your horses now (Sleep until the sun goes down) Through the woods we ran (Deep into the mountain sound) Hold your horses now (Sleep until the sun goes down) Through the woods we ran
[Chorus x2]
I’m looking for a place to start, But everything feels so different now. Just grab a hold of my hand, I will lead you through this wonderland. Water up to my knees, But sharks are swimming in the sea. Just follow my yellow light And ignore all those big warning signs.
La la la, whoa-oh-ohoh-oh La la la, we sleep until the sun goes down La la la, whoa-oh, whoa-oh La la la, we sleep until the sun goes
deep in the dark A howling beast hears us talk. I dare you to close your eyes And see all the colors in disguise. Running into the night, The earth is shaking and I see a light. The light is blinding my eyes As the soft walls eat us alive
Some had scars and some had scratches It made me wonder about their past And as I looked around I began to notice That we were nothing like the rest [Chorus]
