i'm gonna catch a train to boston
just to ask you how you've been
i imagine the storm's settling in now
to help pull me in
i'm gonna find my up north
just to walk with you in the snow
and you can laugh when i shiver
through my new coat
i'd say it's nice to see your smile
if i was strong enough to move my lips in the cold
but i'll be fine if i never come inside
because with you this winter town is home
you make this winter town my home
i'd love to ask you about your home town
and all the pictures on your walls
your voice would be soft when you'd whisper
"i remember it all"
i'm gonna travel up the east coast
just to sleep beside your bed
we'd give life back to winter,
bring flowers from the dead
[ refrain ]
i'm gonna meet you up in boston
on the platform from the train
the city lights won't mask your smile,
you'd put them to shame
[ refrain ]

your eyes don't look how i expected,
there's no warning signs
i'll ask you tonight
if you thought the same of mine
you lied on the ground
and gave new names to the stars
i don't dare to speak,
but i trace my words into your arms
my hands don't shake when we're together
but there's a new knot in my chest
and lately i don't sleep
without your voice filling my head
i know you're scared
i should say i feel the same
but more than i believe in anything
i believe we'll be okay
i know you're not one for ink drawn on skin
but you have left your mark on me
and i hope i've done the same to you
even if it's a mark you can't see

battle cry

my last words were a battle cry
tell me, did you hear it?
a flash of silver in the night
tell me, did you feel it?
i don't feel pain anymore
these arms of yours, they feel quite familiar
a war is not a place to cry
but your eyes aren't dry
your tears greet the winter
maybe i'm a warrior, maybe i was wrong
but the flames burning in my wake
they're still going strong
[ refrain ]
ask me do i take it back
would i jump the track if i could do it again?
even if fate's not a game
and the stars won't change
there's nothing that i regret
maybe i'm a warrior, it was in my blood
but even if i soldiered through
i couldn't escape the flood
[ refrain ]
my last words were a battle cry
my last words were a battle cry

shadows

there are things that i remember
your hair gold against the sun
the way they stared down your bright eyes
your side a trophy to be won
were they dreams or fleeting memories
the days we spent lying in the shade
you laughed at the grass beneath your shoulders
and made your fears into a game
i said, "if you could live forever
how would you spend your years?"
you said all the fun's in getting older
and you'd like to grow up here
i'd tell the waves to pull me under
if you're drowning in the sea
and i would learn to walk through fire
if across the flames is where you'd be
a name, a face, an island a place
i'd tear up the world
to keep our numbered days
there are songs that you've sung me
about souls split into pairs
i've lied awake in the quiet dark
seeking out your heartbeat in the air
are we too old now for stories
or would you lend me your voice
tell me about a boy with green eyes
without a fate to make his choice
you said you couldn't live forever
it would be too many years
of tracing lines in my shadows
and all the places i'd leave bare
[ chorus ]
an island, a place
to keep our numbered days

lullaby
03:08
|

|
i'm more often awake than asleep these days
it feels like i'm alive in the dark
and if there was a chance to take hold of anything
i think i'd grab onto the stars
don't be alarmed
we were built to fight the monsters under our beds
and the noises you fear
they're all coming from the dark parts of your head
they're in your head
i'm more often awake than asleep these days
i think i've lost track of the sun
and i am tracing paths of moonlight on my arms
well, i can't be the only one
[ refrain ]

lost girl

do you wanna start a war?
do you wanna grow up, do you wanna go home?
do you wanna grow up, do you wanna go home?
your eyes look like sea foam to me
the ocean's getting old and i guess god must be, too
stay up all night don't let the dark in
hearing your laugh's like learning to swim
[chorus]
you talk about books like girls in the movies
i think i may have fallen in too deep now
you say words that i can't quite speak
but bravery comes with your lost girl territory
[chorus]
reckless thoughts aren't so unlike you,
if you jump than i'd jump to catch you
stay up all night don't let the dark in
hearing your laugh's like learning to swim
[chorus]
do you wanna start a war, a war?
