"The Tower" lyrics - FUTURE ISLANDS

Threw a bottle
Across the water
To someone who's
Thinking of me
There's a tower
In the ocean
Pouring through me
That's my will and testament

[Chorus:]
I, I, I am waiting on the other side, sigh
Looked out into everything and
I lie, tell myself, "It's nothing", when it's quite right
Everything grows stronger in the light

When a boy who
Played with razors
Met a girl who
Opened cages
All the birds flew
Through the graveyard
And their laughter
Was contagious

[Chorus:]
I, I, I am watching on the other side, sigh
Looked out into every nil and nigh
Lie, tell myself it's darkest when it's quite bright
Everything grows stronger in the light

[Post-Chorus:]
In the light
In the light
In the light

[Bridge:]
Standing at the sea and swallowing
Without you, beside you
But you knew what I knew

[Chorus:]
I, I, I am waiting on the other side, sigh
Looked out into everything and
I lie, tell myself, "It's nothing", when it's quite right
Everything goes, everything grows
I, I, I am watching, I am waiting
I, I, I am waiting, I'm not breaking
I lie, tell myself, "It's okay", when it's not quite
Everything grows stronger in the light
