WOLVES & MACHINES LYRICS

"Beacons"

I've been keeping quiet for a long time
I made the bed each morning just on my side
I counted through the years, one, two, three
Wondered if it's ailing you like it's ailing me

And I've been lighting beacons from the doorway
Convinced myself it's for you, not for me
But I think it's time to bring someone new home
Because if you ain't walking through that door, why be alone?

Maybe you just don't know
But I don't think that I could love you more
I've been waiting, I miss you so
And I don't think that I could love you more

All this time apart just feels unhealthy
The knots built in my stomach climb and choke me
My eyes been burning red, awake for days
Just searching for a bottle in the waves

Because I would sting my throat to drink that ocean
And give you some firm ground to rest your feet on
But I just don't think you'd walk back to me
You felt the ailments, but I need a remedy

Maybe you just don't know
But I don't think that I could love you more
I've been waiting, I miss you so
And I don't think that I could love you more

You've really gotta stop all this self pity
There's more constructive ways to waste your time
Instead you sit in your room just to find
You repeat the Chelsea Hotel lines
I need you, I don't need you, but I need you
I need you, I don't need you

Maybe you'll never know
But I don't think I love you anymore
I've been waiting, I missed you so
But I don't think I love you anymore

Maybe you'll never know
But I don't think I love you anymore
The ocean breathes, I see your ghost
And I don't even love you anymore

It's been awfully cold these last few summers
I saw my breath much more than I saw you
I wrote you songs to send across
Your rolling waves but all was lost
When the salty air brought me back around
