Your Soul Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Just because we're not alone, you echo words you’ve heard
You let me go just to watch me discern
Just because it feels the same, 'til the morning comes
Even roads fill the sun so cold
Out on the ocean, that wild dark sea
You're the shark that's been lurking beneath
Fear has gripped me, where can I go?
When life thickens as I let you know
[Chorus]
Your soul won't hide your face
Let me down for a second
Time, a look you can't replace
Give me a chance to rule the second
[Verse 2]
Just because it's all the same, just a higher grade
You're washing over the iron gates
Just because our songs are known, bodies all around
I see the earth in your eyes on the brow
Ten thousand trees lie in wait for the fall
It's far too easy to ignore the call
Still gripped with fear before your eyes
Get mad, stare into the dark of the night
Just because we're not alone, you echo words you’ve heard
You let me go just to watch me discern
Just because it feels the same, 'til the morning comes
Even roads fill the sun so cold
Out on the ocean, that wild dark sea
You're the shark that's been lurking beneath
Fear has gripped me, where can I go?
When life thickens as I let you know
[Chorus]
Your soul won't hide your face
Let me down for a second
Time, a look you can't replace
Give me a chance to rule the second
[Verse 2]
Just because it's all the same, just a higher grade
You're washing over the iron gates
Just because our songs are known, bodies all around
I see the earth in your eyes on the brow
Ten thousand trees lie in wait for the fall
It's far too easy to ignore the call
Still gripped with fear before your eyes
Get mad, stare into the dark of the night
[Chorus]
Your soul won't hide your face
Let me down for a second
Time, a look you can't replace
Give me a chance to rule the second
[Bridge]
Crowds of ghosts is all we trust
You frown and blush resolve we must
The crowds of ghosts is all we trust
You frown and blush resolve we must
[Chorus]
Your soul won't hide your face
Let me down for a second
Time, a look you can't replace
Give me a chance to rule the second
Your soul won't hide your face
Let me down for a second
Time, a look you can't replace
Give me a chance to rule the second
[Bridge]
Crowds of ghosts is all we trust
You frown and blush resolve we must
The crowds of ghosts is all we trust
You frown and blush resolve we must
[Chorus]
Your soul won't hide your face
Let me down for a second
Time, a look you can't replace
Give me a chance to rule the second

What did Coasts say about "Your Soul"?
Genius Answer
Taken from their guide to the album
I wrote the lyrics to Your Soul at a time when I was being influenced by literature and particularly the poets and writers of the Beat Generation. I fell in love with the way that Jack Kerouac’s writing made me feel and I wanted to recreate that in one of our songs. The song is about being self-conscious and not wanting to grow apart from someone and the importance of resolving things before its too late. We were writing a lot with steel pans and marimbas at the time and we wanted a song that sounded like the height of summer. Your Soul is us at our most care free and feel good.
