Editors - Bones

 ★ 



How can you always be late for your arrival?

You know I'd forgive you every single time



Retreat, retreat

I've fallen at the low tide

Oh retreat, retreat

And meet me by the quayside



In the end all you can hope for

Is the love you felt

to equal the pain you've gone through



Are your eyes showing off for mine

Your face in my hands

is everything good I need



The system's put in place,

put there to protect us

For you I'd throw a lifeline every time



Oh Retreat, retreat

I've fallen at the low tide

Now retreat, retreat

And meet me by the quayside



In the end all you can hope for

Is the love you felt

to equal the pain you've gone through



Are your eyes showing off for mine

Your face in my hands

is everything good I need



Bones, starved of flesh

Surround an aching heart

Full of love



Oh bones, starved of flesh

Surround your aching heart

Full of love



Bones, starved of flesh

Surround your aching heart



Bones



Oh bones



I watch as your eyes show off for mine

I watch as your eyes show off

I watch as your eyes show off for mine

I watch as your eyes show off
