Lyrics

War Drums

[Produced by SBTRKT, score co-written by Warpaint]

[Intro: Emily Kokal](x4)

I wave my hands but no one's there

[Verse 1: Emily Kokal]

We dance through a forest

With love at our feet

I'll wait, I'll wait

For the chorus to come with the beat

My heart is breathing for you

It wants to give you it all, oh

[Verse 2: Emily Kokal]

I wave my hands but no one's there

I wave my hands but no one's there

My heart is breathing for you

It wants to give you it all, oh

[Outro: Emily Kokal](x4)

I wave my hands but no one's there
