Giants
The Brevet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
tonight, tonight, just drink the bottle slow
and watch the waves flow
even though we don't need to
though we don't need to
feel like kings and queens for a second here in the land of dreams
tonight, tonight, just drink the bottle slow
and watch the waves flow
even though we don't need to
everything looks so small and you're as small as I am.
Oh, oh x
hey there beautiful place so high upon your pedestal
everything feels alive
it makes me feel alive
