Lyrics When Am I Gonna Lose You - Local Natives, Nick Waterhouse

When Am I Gonna Lose You

Wait, when am I gonna lose you?
How will I let you slip through?
Careless or unkind?
Trace the curving on the coastline
Santa Lucia cliffside
Stay here for the night
I remember you said
Everything has its place
Now we’ll lie in our bed
Wondering how to explain
You
When am I gonna lose
You
When am I gonna lose
You
When am I gonna lose
You
When am I gonna lose
Take another one if you need it
But do you already feel it?
I felt it from the start
A gray silhouette of you dancing
A shadow play that we’re cast in
On the cabin walls
You were floating to me
In a slow motion fade
I could finally see
That you believed in fate
You
When am I gonna lose
You
When am I gonna lose
You
When am I gonna lose
You, you
When am I gonna lose
I remember you closing the shutters
And laying down by my side
And the light that was still slipping through
It was painting your body in stripes
I remember the trees summoned down
Like an archangel choir
And the ocean was all we could see
And I knew that I wanted you
I remember you closing the shutters
And laying down by my side
And the light that was still slipping through
It was painting your body in stripes
I remember the trees summoned down
Like an archangel choir
And the ocean was all we could see
And I knew that I wanted you
When am I gonna lose
When am I gonna lose
You
When am I gonna lose
You, you
When am I gonna lose
