Bat For Lashes - Sarah lyrics

rate me

Adopting Sarah's heart

was never gonna be easy

With an angel tattoo sinking beneath her belt

Sarah

And the dirty blonde seawater

Seawater gushing down

Chewing fingernails in her shit-eating grin

Sarah

They cut out her heart when

she was a little girl

And in a fishing boat she thought she saw the shadow of God

Sarah

He didn't smile at her and she decided

He never came at all

And when she died, she was going nowhere, nowhere, nowhere

Sarah, I want to be like you

Sarah

You know sometimes I want to love like you

Sarah

So I know how it feels not to feel

Adopting Sarah's heart

was never gonna be easy

Changing from black to blonde to black to blonde

Sarah

But on the dirty tarmac

the tarmac of a melting motorway

She gave me her clothes and told me take her place, her place, her place

Sarah, I want to be like you

Sarah

You know sometimes I want to love like you

Sarah

So I know how it feels not to feel

Sarah, I want to be like you

Sarah

You know sometimes I want to love like you

Sarah

So I know how it feels not to feel
