Of Monsters And Men · My Head Is An Animal [2011]

The sea said goodbye to the shore so the sun wouldn't notice

The sea it wrapped its arms around you



The calm on my cheek feels like the fall grass

and I run through the tall trees with your hands chasing me



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



And beat us to take this bludge to forgive us for our pasts

be a better man, to be a better man, to be a better man



So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well

So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well



They cast the silhouette as big as a monster in this concrete jungle,

The streetlights hang in their house



The books that I keep by my bags are full of the stories

That I drew up on a little dream of mine, a little nightmare of yours



So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well

So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well

So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well

So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well



I met a man today and he smiled back at me

there are thoughts like these that keep me on my feet,

that keep me on my feet.
