Birds of Tokyo
Anchor
[Verse 1]
We stayed afloat for just a while
We dared to swim alone
Dark water left your sinking heart to drown
I know it's much too late to try
You're never comin' home
When the tide came in you left without a sound

[Pre-Chorus]
We don't say, what we should say
We get lost beyond the answer, we find loneliness
We pretend but in the end
We get lost beyond the answer, we find loneliness

[Chorus]
I never thought to hold you
I never thought that you might need an anchor
I never thought I'd lose you
I never thought that you might need an anchor

[Verse 2]
I've seen your face so many times
You've stood in front of me
It was all so real
It was all so hard to see
I'm chasing ghosts and alibis who speak so quietly
I can almost hear you say "Don't cry for me"
[Pre-Chorus]
We don't say, what we should say
We get lost beyond the answer, we find loneliness
We pretend but in the end
We get lost beyond the answer, we find loneliness

[Chorus]
I never thought to hold you
I never thought that you might need an anchor
I never thought I'd lose you
I never thought that you might need an anchor

[Bridge]
Now this is all on me, take my apology
I never though it would end like it did here
Now this is all on me, take my apology
It's all on me, this is all on me

[Chorus]
I never thought to hold you
I never thought that you might need an anchor (Need an anchor)
I never thought I'd lose you
I never thought that you might need an anchor (Need an anchor)

[Outro]
Never thought you'd need an anchor
Never thought you'd need an anchor
Never thought you'd need an anchor
Never thought you'd need an anchor
