someday now

Local Natives

I don t wanna be the reason why you re losing sleep
Go to sleep, love
On the beach, I knew you d stay
And thinking how you thought we d change the same, love

Reflections on my face
Echoes where we speak
Close enough to touch
Far enough to flee
Cause what s behind the dark
Worked all my life to see
Scale the castle wall
To keep something between

How long could I ask you to wait?
Wait for someday
You already waited so long
You want someday to be now

Underneath the single roof, we shared the walls
But it s like you don t live here
I know that I ask so much and all that you ever ask
Is just to let you in

Reflections on my face
Echoes where we speak
Close enough to touch
Far enough to flee
Cause what s behind the dark
Worked all my life to see
Scale the castle wall
To keep something between

How long can I ask you to wait?
The wait for someday
You ve already waited so long
You want someday, someday now

I sat on the bed
I sat without waking you
Is it alive? I can t
Someday, make it true

How long?
You ve already waited so long
You want someday, someday now
