In the fourth track from Daughter’s album If You Leave, “Still” describes a couple who continually grow apart through time, but, due to the fear of being alone, choose to stay together. They both feel that there can still be a spark of love left and use that spark to justify why they are still toget...
[Verse]
I'll wrap up my bones
And leave them
Out of this home
Out on the road
[Refrain]
Two feet standing on a principle
Two hands longing for each other's warmth
Cold smoke seeping out of colder throats
Darkness falling, leaves nowhere to go
[Pre-Chorus]
It's spiralling down
Biting words like a wolf howling
Hate is spitting out each other's mouths
But we're still sleeping like we're lovers
[Chorus]
Still with feet touching
Still with eyes meeting
Still our hands match
Still with hearts beating
Still with feet touching
Still with eyes meeting
Still our hands match
Still with hearts beating
Still with feet touching
Still with eyes meeting
Still our hands match
Still with hearts beating
[Refrain]
Two feet standing on a principle
Two hands digging in each other's wounds
Cold smoke seeping out of colder throats
Darkness falling, leaves nowhere to move
[Pre-Chorus]
It's spiralling down
Biting words like a wolf howling
Hate is spitting out each other's mouths
But we're still sleeping like we're lovers
[Chorus]
Still with feet touching
Still with eyes meeting
Still our hands match
Still with hearts beating
Still with feet touching
Still with eyes meeting
Still our hands match
Still with hearts beating
Still with feet touching
Still with eyes meeting
Still our hands match
Still with hearts beating
[Bridge]
I'll wrap up my bones
And leave them
Out of this home
Out on the road
[Refrain]
Two feet standing on a principle
Two hands longing for each other's warmth
Cold smoke seeping out of colder throats
Darkness falling, leaves nowhere to go
