Bones
The Killers頀 Lyrics

We took a back road; we're gonna look at the stars
We decided to avoid the main road and go stargazing on a quiet route

We took a back road in my car
We drove in my car down the less-trodden path

Down to the ocean, it's only water and sand
We went to the beach; it's just sandy shores and water

And in the ocean we'll hold hands
While standing in the water, we'll hold hands

But I don't really like you, apologetically dressed
I'm not that into you and I'm sorry for that

In the best, put on the heartbeat glide
Despite not feeling it, I'm still trying to be smooth and suave

Without an answer the thunder speaks for the sky
The thunder is like the voice of the sky, but we don't know what it's saying

And on the cold, wet dirt I cry
I feel overwhelmed and upset and I break down in tears on the damp ground

And on the cold, wet dirt I cry
I feel overwhelmed and upset and I break down in tears on the damp ground

Don't you wanna come with me?
Wouldn't it be great if you came along with me?

Don't you wanna feel my bones on your bones?
Wouldn't it feel intimate and powerful if you and I were closely entwined?

It's only natural
It's human nature to want physical closeness

A cinematic vision ensued
I saw a vivid, larger-than-life scene play out

Like the holiest dream
It was like a dream so pure and magical it was almost religious

There's someone calling, an angel whispers my name
I hear a voice that feels heavenly and spiritual, calling my name

But the message relayed is the same
But the message it brings is always the same

Wait till tomorrow; you'll be fine.'
It advises me to stay patient and everything will work out in time

And it's gone to the dogs in my mind
However, my thoughts are spiraling out of control and becoming chaotic

I always hear them
I constantly hear these wild and disruptive thoughts

When the dead of night comes calling
It happens most when night falls and everything is quiet

Save me from this fight
I cry for help, asking to be rescued from this inner turmoil

But they can never wrong this right
Unfortunately, nothing can put right the mess happening in my mind

Don't you wanna swim with me?
Wouldn't it be great if we dived in together?

Don't you wanna feel my skin on your skin?
Wouldn't it feel intimate and powerful if our bodies were touching?

I never had a lover (I never had a lover)
I've never experienced romantic love before

I never had soul (I never had soul)
I feel empty and soulless inside

I never had a good time (And I never had a good time)
I've never really had much fun in life

I never got gold (I never got gold)
I never achieved any great successes or riches

Come and take a swim with me?
Why don't you join me in the water?

Don't you wanna feel my skin on your skin?
Wouldn't it feel intimate and powerful if our bodies were touching?
