Destroyers Lyrics

The night is never long
Enough to do
All of the things that I want
To you

I feel like I'm just waiting around for you
Destroyer, destroyer, destroyer, destroyer
How true is your heart?
And I crash through
Destroyer, destroyer, destroyer
Smooth at the base
It's a gas
My body hurts
I go through windows and I crash

When the night shifts into coyotes
Surround nobody biting til it [?]
And then the night shifts, halloween forever
How true is your love?
How true is chemical
When the night shifts into coyotes


Somebody hit the lights
We're through
I am so tired of these nights
And everything that they never do
So put the letter in your purse
If it's making you feel awkward
There's only 5 of them but you don't know their names and you're too ashamed to even talk to them
I'm like the cities of the night
I am rising from the hill
The heat beats daylight into puddles until they are puddles of steel
Lost in the fog of baby fuck your past
You just keep runnin
Destroyer, destroyer, destroyer
From me to you from your person to the
Just throwing out an open and laugh
Destroyer, destroyer, destroyer, destroyer
Destroyer, destroyer, destroyer, destroyer, destroyer
Destroyer, destroyer, destroyer, destroyer, destroyer
Destroyer, destroyer, destroyer, destroyer, destroyer
Mmmmm

The night is never long enough to do
All of the things that I want to you
