Future Islands
An Apology
[Verse 1]
This is what I know
The canopy loss of our home
Is a far cry, while I'm away

Tethered to finding a rope
We walk in precarious ways
And go alone at night
To Misery's bed
In Misery's bed, we stay

[Refrain]
So far away
So far away
So far away

[Verse 2]
Here in the tremble and pulse
With the rush and the weight of the world
I am a cannibal, known
Begging the lashes to break

You find me awake in a dream
A scream in the dark, so it seems
Or is that just how it leaves?
The shadow I cast now the breeze
[Refrain]
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away

[Verse 3]
So this is how it goes
With the loss of our canopy home
That falls with the leaves from the trees
As we pass

And I wasn't there in the last
But I was surely there from the first
Here, in my chest where you burst
I keep the crush
And the weight of the world

[Refrain]
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
