Sovereignty Lyrics

Forget their blessing
Forget the weather
We'll join our Christian names together
Write all our friends back home

We'll leave tonight and
We'll leave together
I'll say what airline
And you'll say whatever
Leave all our friends back home

You'll talk of sons and I'll talk of daughters
We'll find a little place by the water
Worry all our friends back home
I'll do the talking, you'll write the letters
I'll sing the Beatles and you'll sing them better
Forget all our friends back home

It's raining in Vancouver
But I don't give a fuck
Cuz I'm far from home tonight

It's raining in Vancouver
But I don't give a fuck
Cuz I'm in love with you tonight

I'm sure it's:

Forget their blessing Forget the weather We'll join our Christian names together Write all our friends back home

We'll leave tonight and We'll leave together I'll say what airline And you'll say whatever Leave all our friends back home

You'll talk of sons and I'll talk of daughters We'll find a little place by the water Worry all our friends back home I'll do the talking, you'll write the letters I'll sing the Beatles and you'll sing them better Forget all our friends back home

It's raining in Vancouver But I don't give a fuck Cuz I'm far from home tonight

It's raining in Vancouver But I don't give a fuck Cuz I'm in love with you tonight

My Interpretation

Pretty sure it's "well join our christian names together". I guess it makes more sense that way too

Cover art for Sovereignty lyrics by Japandroids

First verse should be:

Forget their blessing and forget the weather We'll join our christian names together Write all our friends back home

The song is about eloping.

To me, it sounds like "It's raining in Vancouver but I don't give a fuck 'cause I'm alone with you tonight" ? Love love love this song! I saw these guys play in Buffalo a few weeks ago and they were fantastic, despite a bunch of technical difficulties. So much energy =)

"You'll talk of sons and I'll talk of daughters"

and

" and we'll find a roomy place by the water"

i think its "little place by the water" makes more sense too hes craving the quite life with his fiancee

100% sure its "we'll leave tonight and we'll leave together and they'll say that ain't right, and you'll say whatever leave all our friends back home"
