Bones
Lewis Watson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Open your eyes no don't be scared at all.
We'll jump out of aeroplanes and the lakes will break our fall,
No don't make a sound because i'll be with you the whole way down.
(and i told you everything)

I know it's quite soon but you've got a lovely heart
I hope that you feel it too and a flame follows these sparks
Just don't tell me lies because i've been let down too many times
(and i told you everything)

So i'll spend all night looking into your eyes
Because i want to remember them if i ever fall blind
We could jump in the ocean and sink like stones
But that's ok with me baby 'cause i'll be next to your bones

We can spend the rest of our lives, by the old reservoir.
Looking at satellites, waiting for a shooting star.




Although my wish has been made and i found you, i'll just wish you stay
(because i love your everything)

It’s actually crazy to think that 5/6 years a go I was sat listening to you on my bed, you honestly were my absolute favourite singer. I’ve just sat here and listening to your music all over again after a good 4 years and I’ve fallen in love with that voice again😍. I used to sit and sing this over and over. So blessed to have a voice as incredible as yours on YouTube. Proper throwback, thank you x

I don't know whether people can relate to this but there are just songs that attach themselves to certain moments in the course of your life and invoke the always same memories upon hearing them. This is one of them. Love this song so much. It's just fucking beautiful 

Nellie Malseed

Im kind of glad he isn't famous.. Even though he deserves it... I know that if he had millions of fans it would be harder for him to connect with us the way he does! I feel very protective if someone mentions that they love him lol
