Skulls - Bastille

I came here for sanctuary

Away from the winds and the sounds of the city (I-I)

I came here to get some peace

Way down deep where the shadows are heavy (I-I)

I can’t help but think of you

In these four walls, my thoughts seem to wander (I-I)

To some distant century

When everyone we know is six feet under (I-I)

When all of our friends are dead and just a memory

And we’re side by side;

it’s always been just you and me

For a-a-all to see

When our lives are over

And all that remains

Are our skulls and bones

Let’s take it to the grave

And hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms

I’ll be buried here with you

And I’ll hold in these hands

All that remains (I-I)

I don’t want to rest in peace

I’d rather be the ghost that annoys you (I-I)

I hope you can make me laugh

Six feet down when we’re bored of each other (I, I)

A match is our only light

It’s day of the dead and I’m Indiana Jones here (I-I)

These coins sit upon our eyes

Pool our funds;

we’ll pay the boat together

When all of our friends are dead and just a memory

We’ll lie side by side;

it’s always been just you and me

For a-a-all to see

When our lives are over

And all that remains

Are our skulls and bones

Let’s take it to the grave

And hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms

I’ll be buried here with you

And I’ll hold in these hands

All that remains

And now it’s all before you

Hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms

And now it’s all before you

Hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms

When our lives are over

And all that remains

Are our skulls and bones

Let’s take it to the grave

And hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms

I’ll be buried here with you

And I’ll hold in these hands

All that remains
