Dead Sea

(专辑： The Lumineers - 2012)

I stood alone, upon the platform in vain
The Puerto Ricans they were playing their salsa in the rain
With open doors and manual locks
In fast-food parking lots

I headed west, I was a man on the move
New York, it lied to me, I needed the truth
Oh, I need somebody, I needed someone I could trust
And I don't gamble, but if I did I would bet on us

Like the Dead Sea
You told me I was like the Dead Sea
You'll never sink when you are with me
Oh, Lord, like the Dead Sea

Oh, oh, I'm like the Dead Sea
[Video version:] The nicest words you ever said to me
[Album version:] The finest words you ever said to me
Honey, can't you see
I was born to be, be your Dead Sea

You told me you were good at running away
Domestic life, it never suited you like a suitcase
You left with just the clothes on your back
Took the rest when you took a nap

Yes, there are times we live for somebody else
Your father died and you decided to live it
For yourself. You felt, you just felt it was time
And I'm glad, 'cause you with cats, that's just not right

Like the Dead Sea
You told me I was like the Dead Sea
You'll never sink when you are with me
Oh, Lord, I'm your Dead Sea

I'm like the Dead Sea
The nicest words you ever said to me
Honey, can't you see
I was born to be, be your Dead Sea

I've been down, I've been defeated
You're the message, I will heed it
Would you stay with me?
Would you stay the night?

Ooh

Dead Sea
Told me I was like the Dead Sea
You'll never sink when you are with me
Oh, Lord, I'm your Dead Sea

Oh, oh, I'm like the Dead Sea
Nicest words you ever said to me
Honey, can't you see
I was born to be, be your Dead Sea
