Guards Lyrics by LAEL (US)

Clarity

2016

[Verse 1]
I’m a king without a kingdom
Got my crown when I was young
But someone put it on my head
I swear I didn’t know it
Then my queen couldn’t find me
She got lost couldn’t find herself
So we bottled up our love
And threw it in the ocean
And we let our guards down
Did we let our guards down?

[Chorus]
And if I ever make you happy
What does that mean?
And if your mouth is staring at me
What if I can’t speak?
I let my guards down
Do we let our guards down?

[Verse 2]
I wore my cape on my back like a lion
And you rode it like a lioness
Oh the world that we built by hand
It fell down in a tangled mess
We got lost in, in this castle
Ran away for a reason
Have to get out of broken windows
The glass is stabbing us with no hope
So we let our guards down
We let our guards down

[Chorus]
And if i ever make you happy
What does that mean?
And if your mouth is staring at me
What if I can’t speak
I let my guards down
Do we let our guards down?

[Bridge]
All ties rising
We meet again
Shadows in the sea
They’ll come rowing
With evidence
Holding tight bottles of our blood

[Chorus]
And if i ever make you happy
What does that mean? (Rushing from salted ghosts)
And if your mouth is staring at me (In the red water)
What if I can’t speak? (While our love, lies in the neverlands)
I let my guards down
Do we let our guards down? (Paradise)
What if I can't speak?

Rushing from salted ghosts
In the red water while our love
Lies in the neverlands
Paradise in the ocean
