Of Monsters and Men

   
1. The sea said goodbye to the shore
   so the sun wouldn't notice
   The seaweed that wrapped
   its arms around you
   
2. The carpet on my cheek feels
   like the fall grass
   and I run through the tall trees
   with your hand chasing me
   
3. The books that I keep by my bed
   are full of your stories
   That I drew up from a little dream of mine
   a little nightmare of yours
   
4. To be asked to take this plunge
   to forgive and forget
   and be the better man,
   to be a better man, to be a better man
   
R: So love me mother, and love me father,
   and love my sister as well
   The cat's silhouette as big as a monster
   In this concrete jungle with street lights
   hanging their heads
   
5. So make all your last demands
   for I will forsake you
   and I'll meet your eyes
   for the very first time, for the very last
                    
R: So love me mother, and love me father,
   and love my sister as well (4x)
   
6. I met a man today and he smiled back at me
   Now there are thoughts like these
   that keep me on my feet
   that keep me on my feet
