Harpoon Lyrics by ​backpackparty

Possibly

2013

[Verse 1]
We were sailing through several different seas
Yet still unveiling the sinking submarines
Just getting richer with dignity unsold
We never switch up, the letters are in bold

[Refrain]
And we're gone just like that
We were strong, moving flat
Now we're lost on the land
Straight across is my hand

[Pre-Chorus]
And tired efforts kept us at the start
If only there was light inside the dark
The haunted shapes erase the blurry truth
And now my mind is sprinting through

[Chorus]
I wanna understand this tragedy
I'm trying not to break your fall
I'm running out of time so happily
I can't look back at all

[Verse 2]
Delicate echoes with sharper mysteries
A storm is brewing while amber blazes trees
The skies are dimming, our circulation quits
Intricate swimming, goodbyes are coming quick

[Refrain]
And we're gone just like that
We were strong, moving flat
Now we're lost on the land
Straight across is my hand

[Pre-Chorus]
And tired efforts kept us at the start
If only there was light inside the dark
The haunted shapes erase the blurry truth
And now my mind is sprinting through

[Chorus]
I wanna understand this tragedy
I'm trying not to break your fall
I'm running out of time so happily
I can't look back at all

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I wanna understand this tragedy
I'm trying not to break your fall
I'm running out of time so happily
I can't look back at all
I wanna understand this tragedy
I'm trying not to break your fall
I'm running out of time so happily
I can't look back at all
