We Were Owls Lyrics - Ep - Part I - Lovedrug

We were just seventeen 

And all alone 

We had our hands in the gutter 

But our hearts in the warm clouds 

She said I know it's gonna hurt like hell 

But it's all right 

We were just seventeen and so in love 

I can see it that you're ready to go 

Like a bat in the cave of my soul 

We were owls barely escaping the day 

Another moment and we'd give it away 

We were just seventeen 

And so afraid 

We were balloons in the hands 

Of the mothers in the Jesus parade 

She said I know its gonna burn like fire but its all right 

We were just seventeen and so in love 

So in love, so in love, so in love , so in love 

We were owls when they came in the night 

They were looking for a creature to fight 

I can see it that you were ready to go 

Like a bat in the cave of my soul 

We had nothing but the blood on our hands 

We were sitting but were willing to stand 

We were owls barely escaping the day 

Another moment and we'd give it away 

We were owls when they came in the night 

They were looking for a creature to fight 

I can see it that you're ready to go 

Like a bat in the cave of my soul 

We had nothing but the blood on our hands 

We were sitting but willing to stand 

We were owls barely escaping the day 

Another moment and we give it away
