Owen Pallett - The Sky Behind The Flag lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

The only girl I eva fell in luv with

Taught me how to drink as if it needed to be taught

I’d always give a girl anotha shot

We dance away the difficult times

A sheet of noise to wash away her grievance

And I left, undefeated light at the end of the season

She said I was the guy behind the counter

Who would offer to give to you comfort when there is none?

I said that I was sky behind the flag

(Chorus)

We don’t need a miracle

We only need to lose control

We only need to lose control

(Verse 2)

The drive goes on as our conversation

Turns to somethin', somethin' on the radio

Then to the drone, the engine is our anniversary song

And I think, as I look ova Lucky Lou

Lucky me and lucky, lucky you, we will be

Together in our strangeness and our safety

(Chorus x2)

We don’t need a miracle

We only need to lose control

Oh Owen why must you always be

First to wake and first to fight

First to wake and first to fly
