Over My Shoulder Lyrics by Paul Banks

Banks

2012

[Verse 1]
Over my shoulder there's a heart that suffers deep
The sudden exposure makes my mind recall the scene
Over my shoulder there's a lonely heart that beats
So you only know me like the shoreline knows the sea
[Pre-Chorus]
Erase the stone just like beginnings
We make our home above the stars, again
Behold!
[Verse 2]
Over my shoulder there's a man that doesn't speak
No expectations, they will only make you weak
So you only know me like the shoreline knows the sea
Over my shoulder there are phantoms, indiscreet
[Pre-Chorus]
We chase the tombs as the sight begins
We gain these open silent showers in
[Chorus]
So behold the science, your ever means to play
The science, there’s a life outside
Where our lucky passions reign
[Bridge]
You only hold me (You only hold me)
You only hold me like the canyon holds the stream
(You only hold me)
You only hold me like the canyon holds the stream
(You only hold me)
You only hold me as the canyon holds the stream
[Outro]
Relax, we’re safe and that’s all that matters
Be still under life outside, when all our passions rage
Rage
