Future Islands Corner Of My Eye Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I once had a friend
And we had a home
Till they asked me to turn back
Sometimes life is just like that
And there, in the city
Overlooking the sea
I found peace, but can't go back
Isn't it so sad?
[Chorus]
How on the darkest nights
It all can leave you, in the blink of an eye
And on the palest moons
I still see you running into the white
[Verse 2]
Another quiet night
Back in my old city
The same old silent street
That doesn't know pity
For all that's trembling in me
And for my friend, I still grieve
The memory, forgetting
The pains, neverending
But I'm forgiving, at least
In loss, you're better off, move on
Can't take away what you gave me
'Cause in a real way you saved me
You might also like

[Chorus]
And on the darkest nights
I still see you in the corner of my eye
The corner of my eye
And on the palest moons
Oh, I still see you running into the white
Into the white
[Outro]
And I have to say, "Thank you"
Thank you
For being there for me for so long
So I'll just thank you
'Cause I can't take you or make you
I just have to move on
It's perfect, so it's done
