"Little Talks"

Of Monsters and Men has become one of my favorite artists, and this is one of those songs I listen to over and over and never get tired of. The awesome thing about music is that it can capture things you can't quite put into words, giving voice to an atmosphere. I've connected with this song in so many ways over the last two years.

I don't like walking around this old and empty house.
    So hold my hand, I'll walk with you, my dear.
The stairs creak as I sleep, it's keeping me awake.
    It's the house telling you to close your eyes.
And some days I can't even trust myself.
    It's killing me to see you this way,
       'Cause though the truth may vary,
       this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore.

There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back.
    Well tell her that I miss our little talks.
Soon it will be over and buried with our past.
    We used to play outside when we were young,
    And full of life and full of love.
Some days I don't know if I'm wrong when I'm right.
    Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear,
       'Cause though the truth may very,
       this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore.

Don't listen to a word I say, the screams all sound the same.
You're gone, gone, gone away, I watched you disappear.
    All that's left is the ghost of you.
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart, there's nothing we can do.
    Just let me go, we'll meet again soon.
Now wait, wait, wait for me, please hang around.
    I'll see you when I fall asleep.
