Vienna - We Were Castles lyrics

[Verse 1] We threw ourselves Into translation And got lost in rhythms of new patterns of speech With heart-shaped hands you fell asleep [Verse 2] Muttering something like: "You can call me darling when we're older if you like" Now loose ends are lost like knots long forgotten by the waves [Pre-Chorus] And we can tell our newborn will be fathers Before we were dust, we were castles And we were safe [Chorus] And we can tell the newborn will be fathers Before we were dust, we were castles And we were safe [Hook x2] So throw your light on another one You're supposed to float better cause you were a strong swimmer But you've still got the fingernails of a worried man [Verse 3] Slowly sinking heavy hearts Make anchors for the drifting ones And a siren, oh a sailor's last love Now your hands are shaped like arrows And we speak in rain clouds While we're so close to drowning And we sighed, harder than most [Chorus x2] And we can tell the newborn will be fathers Before we were dust, we were castles And we were safe [Hook x3] So throw your light on another one You're supposed to float better cause you were a strong swimmer But you've still got the fingernails of a worried man
