Lyrics

Forest

Thunder keeps me grounded
She talks like you did before
I wonder if where we are
Will all come after my fall
(Don't be tempted to WOAH OH OH OH)

Can you hear me calling in the forest?
Can you hear me screaming my lungs out?

Thunder if this changes everything
Then maybe its everything to us all
(And I)

Can you hear me calling in the forest?
Can you hear me screaming my lungs out?
You know that I'm here for you
Know that I'm here for you
Is there something else?

Thunder, what are we doing?
If the points worth proving then I will
(And I...)

Can you hear me calling in the forest?
Can you hear me screaming my lungs out?
You know that I'm here for you
Know that I'm here for you
Is there something else?

You found love in the dark
(But you don't have time for it)
You found love in the dark
(And I dont have time)
You found love in the dark
(We dont have time for it)
You found love in the dark

(AND I...)

Can you hear me calling in the forest?
Can you hear me screaming my lungs out?
You know that I'm here for you
Know that I'm here for you
Is there something else?

There must be something else?
There must be something else?
There must be something else
I'm losing faith in us

Can you hear me calling in the forest?
Can you hear me screaming my lungs out?
You know that I'm here for you
Know that I'm here for you
Is there something else?

Fatherson: Lost boys

Fatherson: Lost boys

Scottish trio Fatherson had fun with their second album, and indulged in the odd “U2-y” moment - but don’t hold that against them.
