Tigers - The Submarines

The piano makes the sound you play so quietly

These love notes, letter bombs

You send them back to me

Doors and windows break

But not this melody

These not so subtle signs

This house can’t make us stay

Didn’t I warn you, didn’t you want to

Make me feel this way

Didn’t I warn you

You know I’ve loved you from the start

But this house can’t make you stay

Sometimes these things just fall apart

We might never be the same

Maybe I can never be everything you’ll ever need

But I can put my arms around you

If we tear this down, line up every stone

Will memory disconnect us

From all that came before

Cause sometimes our own hearts

Rewrite these histories

To keep themselves from breaking

Is that all we need

Didn’t you warn me

Didn’t I want to

Make you feel the same

Didn’t you want me

You know I’ve loved you from the start

But this house can’t make you stay

Sometimes these things just fall apart

Could we ever be the same

Maybe I can never be everything you’ll ever need

But I could put my arms around you

Something here’s still beautiful

Something only we know

Nothing’s lost if we can find it in time

Find it in time

Call up the general

Call in the major

We need you now

Weren’t there warnings

From headquarters, oh no

Call up your mother

Call in the tigers

You know I’ve loved you from the start

No this house can’t make us stay

But sometimes these things just fall apart

This will never be the same

Maybe I can never be everything you’ll ever need

But I can wrap my arms around you

Maybe you can never be everything I’ll ever need

But could you put your arms around me

You know I’ve loved you from the start

But sometimes these things just fall apart
