Anchor - Birds Of Tokyo

We stayed afloat for just a while

We dared to swim alone

Dark water left your sinking heart to drown

I know it’s much too late to try

You’re never coming home

When the tide came in you left without a sound

We don’t say, what we should say

We get lost beyond the answer we find loneliness

We pretend but in the end

We get lost beyond the answer we find loneliness

I never thought to hold you

I never thought that you might need an anchor

I never thought I’d lose you

I never thought that you might need an anchor

I’ve seen your face so many times

You’ve stood in front of me

It was all so real

It was all so hard to see

I’m chasing ghosts and alibis

Who speak so quietly

I can almost hear you say

Don’t cry for me

We don’t say, what we should say

We get lost beyond the answer, we find loneliness

We pretend but in the end

We get lost beyond the answer, we find loneliness

I never thought to hold you

I never thought that you might need an anchor

I never thought I’d lose you

I never thought that you might need an anchor

Now this is all on me

Take my apology

I never though it would end

Like it did here

Now this is all on me

Take apology

It’s all on me

This is all on me

I never thought to hold you

I never thought that you might need an anchor

(need an anchor)

I never thought I’d lose you

I never thought that you might need an anchor

(need an anchor)

(never thought you’d need an anchor)

(never thought you’d need an anchor)

(never thought you’d need an anchor)

(never thought you’d need an anchor)
