Featherweight Songtext
von Local Natives

It was like a movie on the waves at night
Barely escaping with our lives
We took your boat from Red Hook towards the copper lights
We had forever, but no time

Hmm...
I didn′t know you could look at me that way

I know the guard, under your skin
But when the lights came up, you were still dancing
Off with your head, what's left at stake?
You were still standing like a featherweight


It was like a movie
Knocking on the door
Whispering the password
Radical beliefs forgive you if you′re stray
A notion of doubt is no match for an ounce of faith

Hmm...
I didn't know you could look at me that way

I know the guard under your skin
But when the lights came up, you were still dancing
Off with your head, what's left to take?
You were still standing like a featherweight

Come back down
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah) you′re floating now
You don′t need to wake up now that you've stayed up all night long
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah) you′re floating now
