Local Natives - Featherweight

It was like a movie
On the waves that night
Barely escaping with our lives
We took your boat from Red Hook
Towards the copper lights
We had forever but no time

Ooh, I didn't know you could look at me that way
I know they got 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

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

Ooh, I didn't know you could look at me that way
I know they got 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

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