Lyrics

We Become

[Verse 1]

I wouldn't hide this feeling

A coward's crown - please raise it high

I couldn't stop the warning

Split like a lip on top of mine

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I wouldn't leave you in the sunlight

I wouldn't keep you in the sun's eye

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Keep up the lying

If there's a meaning then I'll say it all again

[Chorus]

You wouldn’t call my name

It’s never been the same

It’s true, your eyes don’t look at me

I couldn’t tell you if I knew it or not

[Post-Chorus]

It could be islands

It could be better

It could be islands

It could be better

It could be islands

It could be better

It could be islands

It could be better

[Verse 2]

Who can have this feeling?

A coward's crown - please raise it high

I could hold off in the morning

Growing bolder in the night

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I wouldn't leave you in the sunlight

I wouldn't keep you in the sun's eye

[Chorus]

You wouldn't call my name

It's never been the same

It's true, your eyes don't look at me

I couldn't tell you if I knew it or not

[Post-Chorus]

It could be islands

It could be better

It could be islands

It could be better

It could be islands

It could be better

It could be islands

It could be better
