Dawes - As If By Design Lyrics






The stars were just the holes punched in a shoebox
That gives the creature all the air he needs to breathe
As if every constellation was just a form of innovation
From a captor too enormous to conceive

The moon beamed like a coach from junior high school
When players hacked their way through each opposing team
And the brighter it was shining, felt like the wider he was smiling
On a season that he loved too much to leave

When you stare off in the night sometimes you see a little too much
Sometimes there's a world behind the mirror, sometimes a razor and a toothbrush
When in those fleeting moments when the stars all seem aligned
It all runs together, as if by design

The boat out in the middle of the ocean
Is like the butterfly just breathing on the sea
Giving all of its attention to this new and strange reflection
Not recognize that's what it used to be

When you stare off in the night sometimes you see a little too much
Sometimes there's a world behind the mirror, sometimes a razor and a toothbrush
When in those fleeting moments when the stars all seem aligned
It all runs together, as if by design

Every day getting a little
More aquainted with the riddles
Until I'm looking for them everywhere I go

When you stare off in the night sometimes you see a little too much
Sometimes there's a world behind the mirror, sometimes a razor and a toothbrush
When in those fleeting moments when the stars all seem aligned
It all runs together, as if by design
As if by design
As if by design

    Dawes is one of my absolute favorite bands and I've obsessed over every single one of their songs at some point. I was driving home around 4 in the morning when this song played on my favorite local station out of nowhere. I had listened to We're All Gonna Die quite a few times but apparently never made it to this song somehow because it was my first time ever hearing it. If you would have told me this song existed on one of their current studio albums before I actually heard it I would have called you a liar.

    Considering the lyrics of this song, the fact it was a new song by them that isn't "When the Tequilla Runs Out" being played on the radio in the perfect 15 minute window of my drive home at 4 in the morning when I thought I'd heard every song by them already...... it was like it happened as if by design. I'll never be able to shake the original feeling this song gave me and now gives me every single time I hear it. Dawes is simply magic.
