Skulls Lyrics - Bastille

1 I came here for sanctuary

2 Away from the winds and the sounds of the city

3 I came here to get some peace

4 Way down deep where the shadows are heavy

5 I can't help but think of you

6 In these four walls my thoughts seem to wander

7 To some distant century

8 When everyone we know is six feet under

9 When all of our friends are dead and just a memory

10 And we're side by side it's always been just you and me

11 For all to see

12 When our lives are over and all that remains

13 Are our skulls and bones let's take it to the grave

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

15 I'll be buried here with you

16 And I'll hold in these hands all that remains

17 I don't want to rest in peace

18 I'd rather be the ghost that annoys you

19 I hope you can make me laugh

20 Six feet down when we're bored of each other

21 A match is our only light

22 It's day of the dead and I'm Indiana Jones here

23 These coins sit upon our eyes

24 Pool our funds and pay the boat together

25 When all of our friends are dead and just a memory

26 And we're side by side it's always been just you and me

27 For all to see

28 When our lives are over and all that remains

29 Are our skulls and bones let's take it to the grave

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

31 I'll be buried here with you

32 And I'll hold in these hands all that remains

33 And now it's all before you

34 Hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms

35 When our lives are over and all that remains

36 Are our skulls and bones let's take it to the grave

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

38 I'll be buried here with you

39 And I'll hold in these hands all that remains
