lyrics

Daylight peeking through the windows
The night wind waves goodbye
While the dying moon still lingers
In the mourning sky
And we haven't slept or taken care of
This mess that we call life
But for once the devil on my shoulder's
Bitter, lonely from last night

We'll sit on tops of dunes
Like castle hills
Like kings and queens
We'll watch as the sun sets
Over this endless northern sea
Well, it's beautiful and terrifying
And everything life is
And I wouldn't trade a thing for this

Daylight making its way out
We stand out on the coast
Getting lost in the nostalgia
Of songs we wish we wrote

There's a peace in the panic
The senseless poetry on the walls
Maybe the eye of the storm
Isn't that bad of a place after all

We'll sit on tops of dunes
Like castle hills
Like kings and queens
We'll watch as the sun sets
Over this endless northern sea
Well, it's beautiful and terrifying
And everything life is
And I wouldn't trade a thing for this

And you said
All we are is the dust of stars
Impractical inventions
These nights live for the autopsies
On our past selves we call introspection
About how all these years, they changed us
In anything but name
But I guess the lone moon in broad daylight
It just doesn't shine the same

We'll sit on tops of dunes
Like castle hills
Like kings and queens
We'll watch as the sun sets
Over this endless northern sea
Well, it's beautiful and terrifying
And everything life is
And I wouldn't trade a thing for this
No, I wouldn't trade a thing for this
No, I wouldn't trade a thing for this
