about

"Shelter", is a song about loving another who has created a guarded existence from the outside world. A story about coaxing someone out of their shell that they hide inside of. Sharing your own strength with that person in hopes to bring them out of their shelter; their shield against the anxieties and stresses of life. Trying to show them the beauty of not only the world but also the beauty in themselves. Guest featuring vocals of Frank Turner on the bridge and backing choruses.

lyrics

"Shelter" Feat. Frank Turner

It's been an early spring
turned into summer,
Or so everybody thought
The clouds came in with a bummer,
We forget all we’re taught

In a town that's built for sinking,
Where do we go from here?
Let's dig a hole that's fit for dying,
We'll bury all our fears

In the ground hides a sound
that we were meant to hear,
So smooth your dress
with shaky hands and stand

Shelter, shelter hide away a secret,
Will you choose to meet the day?
Heavy weather always will it follow,
If you don't come drink the rain

Your shelter keeps you hiding away

I remember how you held it in,
Every time you had cry
Autumn breeze on your salty skin,
Try my coat on for size

Your eyes they held reflections,
Of something from my youth
My hands had good intentions,
They were made just for you

In your heart lies the start
of something that is new,
Brush your hair with fingers fair and true

Stuck in the eye of a hurricane,
If we’re a match would
you blow out the flame?
There is truth in what I say,
Please don't keep yourself so locked away

Shelter, shelter hide away a secret,
Will you choose to meet the day?
Heavy weather always will it follow,
If you don't come drink the rain

Shelter, shelter don't let us be divided,
We could walk with arm in arm
Together, together
we could break the silence,
No it won't do you no harm

Shelter, shelter
