Honeywater – Southern Wild lyrics

Well I met you at the corner of my hope and my regret,
wasn't looking for an angel,
wasn't looking for you yet.
The night I heard my self sing,
the night I found a meaning,
near the white walls that were calling me.
I tried to write a song for you but it just went and left me blue.
Beneath the ground, the sun and stars,
I lay with the princess of hearts.

So let me show you my eye sight,
we'll be the bell of the southern wild,
come show me why at first sight,
love moves quickly.
Hello nice to meet you, I was wondering if I could walk you home!

I see rivers run the evergreen,
I see dreams lost to the sand,
I see crying for our families,
as their lives slip through our hands.

All my life has been leeching,
why give it all to you?
Yeah I think I need a teaching,
cause they say that I'm untrue.
The best will pass and set you free,
the love and all that you should be.
And no I'm not the preacher's son,
I'd love to be your only one.

So let me show you my eye sight,
we'll be the bell of the southern wild,
come show me why at first sight,
love moves quickly. Hello nice to meet you,
I was wondering if I could walk you.

But oh na, na,
it ain't as easy as I make it sound.
Love it sucks,
it knocks you up and it knocks you down, nothing lost,
ever since I found.

So let me show you my eye sight,
we'll be the bell of the southern wild,
come show me why at first sight,
love moves quickly.
Cause I spend hours remembering
and writing letters that I don't send.
But this love is not just in my head,
and I know, I've got a chance.
