Dead Sea

The Lumineers

I stood alone, upon the platform in vain;
The Puerto Ricans they were playing the salsa in the rain,
With open doors and manual locks,
In fast food parking lots.

I headed West, I was a man on the move;
New York had lied to me, I needed the truth.
Oh, I need somebody; I needed someone I could trust.
I don't gamble, but if I did I would bet on us

Like the Dead Sea;
You told me I was like the Dead Sea.
You'll never sink when you are with me;
Oh Lord, like the Dead Sea.

Oh, I'm like the Dead Sea;
The finest words you ever said to me.
Honey can't you see,
I was born to be, be your Dead Sea.

You told me you were good at running away;
Domestic life, it never suited you like a suitcase.
You left with just the clothes on your back;
You took the rest when you took the map.

Yes, there are times we live for somebody else;
Your father died and you decided to live
It for yourself; you felt, you just felt it was time.
And I'm glad, cause you with cats, that's just not right.

Like the Dead Sea;
You told me I was like the Dead Sea.
You'll never sink when you are with me.
Oh Lord, I'm your Dead Sea.

Oh, I'm like the Dead Sea;
The nicest words you ever said to me.
Honey can't you see
I was born to be, be your dead sea

I been down, I've been defeated;
You're the message I was heeding.
Would you stay,
Would you stay the night?

Dead Sea,
Told me I was like the Dead Sea;
Never sink when you are with me.
Oh Lord, I'm your Dead Sea.

Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea;
The finest words you ever said to me.
No need to move your feet so quickly.
Oh Lord, I'm your Dead Sea.
