Rings Around My Father's Eyes - The War On Drugs

I’ve never really known which way I’m facing

But I feel like something’s changed

There’s a storm outside, my walls are ragin'

They’re coming back down in the hardest way

There’s a rain protecting me

Rings around my father’s eyes

Light above the morning sea

Into darkness, I will reach

Fall into the ocean deep

Just to bring you back

Babe, it’s almost five

I’ve been gone since the moonlight faded

And punishing rain washed me away

How can I give back what once was stolen?

How can I stay all day?

When it’s all a lie, I’m just hiding in a memory

Yeah, what waits for you?

What waits for me?

There’s a bridge connecting me

Rings around my father’s eyes

Light above the morning sea

Fill the granite into the sun

Feel the wings across your arms

Another way to lose, that’s all

Mm-mm, mm-mm

As I ride into the wind

What a restless feeling

One I’ve tried to hide so long

Fill the granite into the sun

To feel the wings across your arms

Cut the wing in two

No one really knows which way they’re facing

'Til they’re coming back down
