In Chains Lyrics

Going out the way I always do
Calling out your name
Trying not to hate myself
For getting in the middle
And shining every light upon it

Still I miss the way you'd hold me close in a cold wind
I caught you in our room staring at the light
I'd been up all night
Is this life and we're just living it?

Still I wanna celebrate our love
I've been rolling like a 16
I can die on the floor
I've been shackled and delivered
There's a girl out there with silence in her eyes
Her truth is in the dark

And I see you coming in view
Yeah, I need you
I'm coming in two
In view
Ain't no wind that I could feel in a fleeting rain
Turn around and rip my heart
Then look at it and say how you broke away
Ain't no way to elevate to another line
With nowhere to go
Ain't no chains to hold you in
To hold you to
To losing you

Hiding from an enemy
Something inside me died
Hard to see real clear these days
Darkness on my mind

As I stare into the air ocean floor
And I wonder where I once was
Was I falling through the air tonight?
Then crumble into your arms

Is this love?
Are you sure?
Is it something you can control?
I'm retired
I'm in chains
I'm in love
I'm in pain

All these changes everywhere
Just go ahead and take my hand
Hold me close, now let me go
Try and understand
I believe in all the power
In doing what we can do
We can try and learn to make it through
Then come out the other side

I don't see you at all coming in view
How do we decide what we can do?
I can't read your mind
Give me the truth

The War on Drugs is an American indie rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Band member Adam Granduciel (born Adam Granofsky in Dover, Massachusetts) moved from Oakland, California to Philadelphia in 2003, where he met Kurt Vile and began playing music with him. They began playing as The War on Drugs in 2005, and self-released a demo EP. While Vile and Granduciel formed the backbone of the band, they had a number of accompanists early in the group's career, before finally settling on a lineup that added Charlie Hall as drummer/organist, Kyle Lloyd as drummer and Dave Hartley on bass. Granduciel had previously toured and recorded with The Capitol Years, and Vile has several solo albums. The group gave away its Barrel of Batteries EP for free early in 2008. Their debut LP for Secretly Canadian, Wagonwheel Blues, was released in 2008.

Reviewers of the band's music make note of its Americana overtones. The group's sound has been described as influenced by Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and My Bloody Valentine.

The lineup underwent several changes, and by the end of 2008, Kurt Vile, Charlie Hall, and Kyle Lloyd had all exited the group. Granduciel and Hartley were joined by drummer Mike Zanghi as the group slimmed to three members.

After Zanghi's exit in 2010, Steven Urgo took over drum duties and Robbie Bennett joined on keys. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
