The Lumineers - Elouise Lyrics

The Lumineers - Elouise Video

If you're down on your luck,

Don't get down on yourself

It won't do you no good

'Cause I've been there before,

For a hundred wars

And I'm still fighting for you

 

Elouise, why'd you leave?

Please confess, confess to me.

Sing my song, patiently

And I'll return, my Elouise.

 

Let's be Alison,

Let's be David Burn

Let's all learn how to dance

Move your feet in time

Put your hand in mine

We will waltz once again.

 

Elouise, why'd you leave?

Please confess, confess to me.

Sing my song, patiently

And I'll return, my Elouise.

 

Elouise, why'd you leave?

Please confess, confess to me.

Song my song, graciously

We will waltz, Elouise.

The Lumineers - Dead Sea Lyrics

The Lumineers - Dead Sea Video

I stood alone, upon the platform in vain

Puerto Ricans they were playing me 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 had lied to me, I needed the truth

Oh, I need somebody, needed someone I could trust

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

 

Whoa, 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

 

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

You took the rest when you took the map

 

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

 

Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea

The finest words you ever said to me

Honey can't you see

I was born to be, be your dead sea

 

I been down, I been defeated

You're the message I was heeding

Would you stay,

Would you stay the night?

 

Dead Sea,

Told me I was like the Dead Sea

Never sink when you are with me

Oh Lord, I'm your Dead Sea

 

Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea

The finest words you ever said to me

No need to move your feet so quickly

Oh Lord, I'm your Dead Sea

The Lumineers - Flapper Girl Lyrics

The Lumineers - Flapper Girl Video

Cut off all of your hair

Did you flinch, did you care

Did he look, did he stop and stare

At your brand new hair

Local boy, local news

Power lines hangin boots

Firemen in their trucks cut loose

A local boy's shoes

 

Cadillac, cadillac

Businessmen dressed in slacks

 

I'm gonna buy one for us when I get back

A big cadillac

 

And you can wave to all of your friends

And I'll never leave you again

 

Would you write would you call back baby if

I wrote you a song

I been gone but you're still my lady and

I need you at home

 

Romeo, juliet

Balcony in silhouette

Makin o's with her cigarette

It's juliet

 

Flapper girl, flapper girl

Prohibition in curls

Hair of gold and a neck of curls

It's flapper girl

 

And you can wave to all of your friends

And I'll never leave you again

 

Would you write would you call back baby if

I wrote you a song

I been gone but you're still my lady and

I need you at home

 

Cause if you ain't behind my door

Then I ain't got a home anymore

 

Would you write would you call back baby if

I wrote you a song

I been gone but you're still my lady and

I need you at home

 

Lovers come, lovers go

Lovers leave me alone

She'll come back to me

The Lumineers - Morning Song Lyrics

The Lumineers - Morning Song Video

The carbonation in my drink

The bubbles rise while my heart sinks

And all I tend to do is think of you

 

Was it easier to pack your bags

And book that flight to paris as

The plane began to move that afternoon

 

When all the trains have pulled away

From local stations in decay

It's I who waits, it's you who's late again

 

And did you think of me when you made love

To him, was it the same as us

Or was it different, it must have been

 

And all the pretty dames

They'll hug and kiss you all the same

And when they go, they're gone

They're not run-ning late

Oh all, all the pretty dames

 

And the kids you hold in your arms

With promises to protect them from harm

But they grow, and they go

And you're all a-lone

All the kids, all the kids that you hold

 

And it's a shame that it ends this way

With nothing left to say

So just sit on your hands, while I walk aw-ay

It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame

When my hands begin to shake

When bitterness is all I taste

And my car won't stop

Cause I cut the brakes

I hold on to a hope in my fate

 

Oh oh ah ah hey hey

May you return to love one day

Well I hope and I pray

You get what you gave

Oh oh ah ah hey hey
