Guillemots - Annie, Let's Not Wait lyrics

rate me

I found something crying; it was my soul

i fed it milk so it wouldn't grow old

we crossed the borderline at dawn

and woke up in a field of corn

my father told me i was late

i better start oiling the gate

said that those that rush will fall

but i don't want to wait for waves

i don't want to wait at all

annie, let's not wait

let's cross the river now

we could sit for years

staring at our fears

oh they're such pretty things

they're so cute

but our dreams are all we really need

to grow

i found something dying; it was my light

it had resigned itself to night

so i threw it out a fishing line

and said catch your will and then catch mine

annie, let's not wait

let's cross the river now

we could sit for years

staring at our fears

oh they're such pretty things

they're so cute

but in the end they're just a suit

oh annie let's not wait

time's not on our side

well it never was

you know that deep inside

oh just look at you

with your ruffled hair

oh i love you

and that's all you need to know

annie annie
