Family Ties - Bastille

Family ties and all of our strangeness

But there's love in your eyes, it breaks me to pieces

I can picture your driveway, I remember the house up on the hill

Hear the rain falling on tinned roof (Hey, hey)

All the trees that had woven in and out of your bedroom and the hall

Wrapped the light that you'd made around you

Time stopped in the space between your breathing

Caught up in the sounds the house was making

Family ties and all of our strangeness (Hey, hey)

But there's love in your eyes, it breaks me to pieces (Hey, hey)

And the sun won't go down on all of your memories (hey, hey)

You know, we got, we got these (We got, we got these)

We got these family ties (Hey, hey)

I remember your stories, I can picture the garden that you grew

How we spoke when you passed on through

I still think of your kindness and the way that your hair would tumble down

All the people who lent on you

'Cause time stopped like it left you in the sixties

Caught up in a life outside the city

Family ties and all of our strangeness (Hey, hey)

But there's love in your eyes, it breaks me to pieces (Hey, hey)

And the sun won't go down on all of your memories (Hey, hey)

You know, we got, we got these (We got, we got these)

We got these family ties (Hey, hey)

No way we're ever gonna let the sun go down

No way we're ever gonna let the sun go down

No way we're ever gonna let the sun go down

No way we're ever gonna let the sun go down

We got these family ties and all of our strangeness

But there's love in your eyes, it breaks me to pieces

And the sun won't go down in all of your memories

You know we got, we got these (We got, we got these)

We got these family ties (Hey, hey)

(Hey, hey) La-da-da-da-da (Hey, hey)

We got, we got these, we got these family ties (Hey, hey)

(Hey, hey) We got, we got, we got, we got these (Hey, hey)

We got, we got these, we got these family ties
