When Am I Gonna Lose You - Local Natives, Joey Pecoraro

Wait, when am I gonna lose you?

How will I let you slip through?

Careless or unkind?

Trace the curving on the coastline

Santa Lucia cliffside

Stay here for the night

I remember you said

Everything has its place

Now we’ll lie in our bed

Wondering how to explain

You

When am I gonna lose

You

When am I gonna lose

You

When am I gonna lose

You

When am I gonna lose

Take another one if you need it

But do you already feel it?

I felt it from the start

A gray silhouette of you dancing

A shadow play that we’re cast in

On the cabin walls

You were floating to me

In a slow motion fade

I could finally see

That you believed in fate

You

When am I gonna lose

You

When am I gonna lose

You

When am I gonna lose

You, you

When am I gonna lose

I remember you closing the shutters

And laying down by my side

And the light that was still slipping through

It was painting your body in stripes

I remember the trees summoned down

Like an archangel choir

And the ocean was all we could see

And I knew that I wanted you

I remember you closing the shutters

And laying down by my side

And the light that was still slipping through

It was painting your body in stripes

I remember the trees summoned down

Like an archangel choir

And the ocean was all we could see

And I knew that I wanted you

When am I gonna lose

When am I gonna lose

You

When am I gonna lose

You, you

When am I gonna lose
