Lyrics

[Intro]
[syncopated fingerstyle acoustic guitar riff with hammer-ons]
[Verse 1]
[male vocals enter]
Tell me that you need me
Tell me that you care a little about me
Tell me that you hear me
Tell me [strummed acoustic guitar enters]
[Chorus]
There was a wind on the shore
It's all the way all we were fighting for
There was a man, looked so tanned
He laughed into our eyes
Some of us denied
[Instrumental Break]
[fingerstyle guitar riff continues, strumming intensifies]
[Verse 2]
Staring at the carol
Staring at yourself
Knowing that something's bigger
[Chorus]
I said oh, don't let the old man go
Don't you hold, no no no
Don't let the old man fall
Hey, no no no
Don't you hold, no no no
Don't let the old man fall
Hey, no no no
Don't let the old man go
Don't you hold, no no no
Don't let them all
[Instrumental Break]
[strummed acoustic guitar chords, rhythmic accents]
[Bridge]
Then they make him out with a sweet guitar
I got nothing left to give
I got only memories kept
I can see you on the ground
I don't know if I'll be here
I don't know if I'll be here
You'll be someone in the world
I'll be dancing with the girl
You don't have to tell me why
Feel like I'll end up
Feel like I know the scandals in the hearts
Dead in the dark to run away
I can't find the center
[Outro]
Nobody knows about the clouds
Nobody knows that they go
Sink down
