Lost In the Light - Bahamas

Beg for mercy, but we know That my every prayer was born to fail Whatever it takes Whatever it costs This can't be the life that I've lost Forever lost in the fire It burns as far as the eye can see One chance, my only desire I won't be bound to misery I'm losing the battle, but we know That it was over when the war began Whatever it takes Whatever it costs I will claim the life that I've lost (Until my dying day) Forever lost in the fire It burns as far as the eye can see One chance, my only desire I won't be bound to misery This I swear On all that's holy I'll die for life And it consumes me I'll die for life Follow me down I'll die for life Follow me One chance, my only desire Forever lost in the fire It burns as far as the eye can see One chance, my only desire I won't be bound to misery I'll die for life Follow me down I'll die for life Follow me

I'm lost in the light I pray for the night To take me, to take me to After so many words Still nothing's heard I don't know what we should do If someone can see me now, let them see you Let them see you See you through All the hard things we've all gotta do 'Cause this life is long So you wouldn't be wrong Bein' free here with me on my own It was my greatest thrill But we just stood still You let me hold your hand 'til I had my fill Even countin' sheep Don't help me sleep I just toss and turn right there beside you Someone could help me now, they'd help you too. Let them see you See you through All the hard things we've all gotta do 'Cause this life is long So you wouldn't be wrong Bein' free here with me on my own

A thief in the night came Took everything you gave for her This song isn't low, lady It's remembering love made in the summer But I think of the things that it taught me I learned that there's beauty I can't keep Learned that there's demons in stories Letting her down, no, I won't be Whenever she's calling, she'll call me Angry and seething as the sea Songs in cathedrals in month three Promise you'll smile off a memory And I, I, I I couldn't stop smiling like the whole way home Yeah, it should feel like something you were missing To all my friends, you'll find your way Some summer night, I hope I see you again All my friends, I'd love to stay Some summer night, I hope I see you again Looking up lately The moon doesn't chase me no more Before it was childlike Lost in the soft light, and so on, so on And I, I, I I couldn't stop smiling like the whole way home And yeah, it should be when she read out all she'd written To all my friends, you'll find your way Some summer night, I hope I see you again All my friends, I'd love to stay Some summer night, I hope I see you again The smell of rain and streetlight thrown A love, a lantern in the snow When she feels it taking hold She finds it so hard letting go How can I tell her that we'll shine? She dreads the devil's yet to show So damn reluctant to expose it to me, so when So I think of the things that it taught me She starts to think evil has lost me I walked with the wolves and it haunts me She steps with intention to run free So stunner, don't ever move softly You've been on a journey they can't see When dancing in ballrooms, you will lead Promise you'll smile off a memory And I, I, I I couldn't stop smiling like the whole way home And yeah, it should feel like something you were missing To all my friends, you'll find your way Some summer night, I hope I see you again All my friends, I'd love to stay Some summer night, I hope I see you again The smell of rain and streetlight thrown A love, a lantern in the snow But when she feels it taking hold She finds it so hard letting go How can I tell her that we'll shine? She dreads the devil's yet to show What I told you when That I told you when

Can't complain I made a living with my brain I made something new For all of you From some old refrain Take what's already been done Find some new way to get the song sung Can't complain, I made a living with my brain Please understand I made my living with my hands Through the work and the toil Through the blood and the soil There's no master plan Build it up to tear it back down Just a ruin to one day be found Please understand, I made my living with my hands Tryna do more With all that I'm given Tryna do more Than just make a livin' Forget your rules I'ma use my own tools Forget your union man And your pension plan And your private schools Forget just tryna survive I'm only doing that which makes me feel alive Can't complain I made a living with my brain

Laugh about the shape I'm in Laugh about the shape I'm in Don't do me no good It don't do me no good It done did me no good Fool me with the sleight of hand Fool me with the sleight of hand It don't do me no good It don't do me no good It done did me no good It done did me no good To see it all coming I turn it over but the engine ain't runnin' And if you think I got it all figured out It's just another way to hide my doubt Doubt done did me no good Hit me with the stone cold facts Hit me with the stone cold facts It don't do me no good It don't do me no good It done did me no good Hate it but I don't know why Hate it but I don't know why It don't do me no good It don't do me no good It done did me no good Done did me no good To see it all coming Late start but I hit the ground runnin' And if you think I'm out here just frontin' Well then you know you got another thing comin' If you think I got it all figured out It's just another way to hide my doubt Doubt done did me, doubt done did me Doubt done did me no good
