Lyrics Rings Around My Father's Eyes - The War On Drugs

Rings Around My Father's Eyes

I’ve never really known which way I’m facing
But I feel like something’s changed
There’s a storm outside, my walls are ragin'
They’re coming back down in the hardest way
There’s a rain protecting me
Rings around my father’s eyes
Light above the morning sea
Into darkness, I will reach
Fall into the ocean deep
Just to bring you back
Babe, it’s almost five
I’ve been gone since the moonlight faded
And punishing rain washed me away
How can I give back what once was stolen?
How can I stay all day?
When it’s all a lie, I’m just hiding in a memory
Yeah, what waits for you?
What waits for me?
There’s a bridge connecting me
Rings around my father’s eyes
Light above the morning sea
Fill the granite into the sun
Feel the wings across your arms
Another way to lose, that’s all
Mm-mm, mm-mm
As I ride into the wind
What a restless feeling
One I’ve tried to hide so long
Fill the granite into the sun
To feel the wings across your arms
Cut the wing in two
No one really knows which way they’re facing
'Til they’re coming back down
