"Sloom" lyrics - OF MONSTERS AND MEN

[Verse 1: Nanna Bryndis Hilmarsdottir, Ragnar Thorhallsson]
The sea said goodbye to the shore
So the sun wouldn't notice
The seaweed that wrapped its
Arms around you

The carpet on my cheek
Feels like a forest
And I run through the tall trees
With your hand chasing me

[Verse 2: Nanna, Ragnar, Nanna & Ragnar]
The books that I keep by my bed
Are full of your stories
That I drew up from a little dream of mine
A little nightmare of yours

To be us, to take this plunge
To forgive and forget
And be the better man, to be a better man
To be a better man

[Chorus 1: Nanna, Ragnar]
So love me, mother
And love me, father
And love my sister
As well

[Verse 3: Nanna, Ragnar, Nanna & Ragnar]
The cat's silhouette
As big as a monster
In this concrete jungle
With street lights hanging their hats

So make all your last demands
For I will forsake you
And I'll meet your eyes for the very first time
For the very last

[Chorus 1: Nanna, Ragnar]
So love me, mother
And love me, father
And love my sister
As well

[Chorus 2: Nanna, Ragnar]
So love me, mother
And love me, father
And love my brother
As well

[Chorus 1: Nanna, Ragnar]
So love me, mother
And love me, father
And love my sister
As well

[Chorus 2: Nanna, Ragnar]
So love me, mother
And love me, father
And love my brother
As well

[Outro: Nanna, Nanna & Ragnar]
I met a man today
And he smiled back at me
Now there are thoughts like these that keep me on my feet
That keep me on my feet
