lyrics

Somewhere at the bottom there's a bottle in the ocean

If you get to it in time it will grant the wish it's given

Like to not get left behind in this simple life we live in

It's a grand statement of all these bastards and the women


My grandfather worked at this old mill his whole life

When he came home there were six kids and a wife 

It's so hard to get out but just keep this in mind 

The only thing I'm asking you is don't leave me behind

Underneath the gaslight is where your body’s buried
We’ll all get there in time so there is no need to hurry
So get me out, get me out and please
Don’t leave me behind

Will you think of me when I’m gone?

Just cause you’re dead doesn’t mean I love you

Will you wait up nights all alone?

But I just can’t help thinking of you

If I haunt you like a ghost?

Promise it won’t seem like forever

I got this bottle and I close my eyes
I make a wish but still I, still I see you tonight

Somewhere at the bottom there's a bottle in the ocean

If you get to it in time it will grant the wish it's given
Take away all of your god-given imperfections
Stand up tall and see what your life really means

Will you think of me when I’m gone?

Just cause you’re dead doesn’t mean I love you

Will you wait up nights all alone?

But I just can’t help thinking of you

If I haunt you like a ghost?

Promise it won’t seem like forever

I got this bottle and I close my eyes
I make a wish but still I, still I see you tonight

Your sickness won’t bring you peace
Did you die in your sleep?

about

The Left Behinds Calgary, Alberta

A blend of folk, rock and acoustic music this band features good humour and tragic melancholy, often at the same time. Swirling guitars give way to indie drumbeats, and bombastic vocals trade off with gentle folk melodies in a way that is always unpredictable, yet somehow familiar. With a penchant for melodramatic crescendos, The Left Behinds are a band that refuses to be pinned down. ... more
