Bag of Bones Lyrics
[Intro]
Okay, okay
You like, just really...
Where is, where is the mic? This?
No, the big one, M49
Okay
6, 4, 2, 6
[Verse 1]
Swing like we feel no groove
Hold me tight if you need to move
Breathe like there is no room
Swim like we need to sink
Down to the bottom where there's time to think
Real life close in between
[Pre-Chorus]
In the water, you can't catch me
I only aim to please
[Chorus]
A bag of bones, a bag of bones
We come and go in a bag of bones
A bag of bones, a little bag of bones
I'm coming home in a bag of bones
[Verse 2]
Headlights enflame the dark
I need a minute to get out and walk
Search for the faintest spark
I ignite as the dawn's on me
Kiss me, honey, I can use the heat
Sweet like a tangerine
[Pre-Chorus]
I love you, baby, but it feels too soon
To be alone in a room
[Chorus]
With a bag of bones, a bag of bones
We come and go in a bag of bones
A bag of bones, a little bag of bones
I'm coming home in a bag of bones
[Post-Chorus]
You come and go, you come and go
[Bridge]
Move like there is no groove
Move like there is no room
Move like we're in the dark
Move like there is no spark
Move like we need to sink
Move like no time to think
Move like we need the heat
I'm moving like it just dawned on me
[Chorus]
I'm just a bag of bones, a bag of bones
We come and go in a bag of bones
A bag of bones, a little bag of bones
I'm coming home in a bag of bones
Okay, okay
You like, just really...
Where is, where is the mic? This?
No, the big one, M49
Okay
6, 4, 2, 6
Swing like we feel no groove
Hold me tight if you need to move
Breathe like there is no room
Swim like we need to sink
Down to the bottom where there's time to think
Real life close in between
In the water, you can't catch me
I only aim to please
A bag of bones, a bag of bones
We come and go in a bag of bones
A bag of bones, a little bag of bones
I'm coming home in a bag of bones
Headlights enflame the dark
I need a minute to get out and walk
Search for the faintest spark
I ignite as the dawn's on me
Kiss me, honey, I can use the heat
Sweet like a tangerine
I love you, baby, but it feels too soon
To be alone in a room
With a bag of bones, a bag of bones
We come and go in a bag of bones
A bag of bones, a little bag of bones
I'm coming home in a bag of bones
You come and go, you come and go
Move like there is no groove
Move like there is no room
Move like we're in the dark
Move like there is no spark
Move like we need to sink
Move like no time to think
Move like we need the heat
I'm moving like it just dawned on me
I'm just a bag of bones, a bag of bones
We come and go in a bag of bones
A bag of bones, a little bag of bones
I'm coming home in a bag of bones

When you lose your passion and don't know why you do it all anymore, your mind goes to a dark place. You can start to feel like just a bag of bones and nothing you do has any meaning. Nothing makes you feel like there's any meaning to it all.
I feel like this song is about losing feelings for someone or something and then going into a depression to where you feel like there’s nothing left and you could just die
