  • Wait, when am I gonna lose you?
    How will I let you slip through?
    Careless or unkind?
    Trace the curving on the coastline
    The Santa Lucia cliffside
    We'll stay here for the night

    I remember you said
    Everything has its place
    Now I 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
    Or 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
    Could I finally see
    Between belief and faith?

    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 Writer/s: Kelcey Ayer, Matt Frazier, Nik Ewing, Ryan Hahn, Taylor Rice
