Mountains

Mountains was initially a stand-alone single by Biffy Clyro released on the 18th August 2008. The song became a significant airplay hit and also the bands highest charting single yet; reaching number 5 on the UK singles chart. The track was later included on their fifth studio album, Only Revolutions. Biffy Clyro are Simon Neil and twins Ben and James Johnston, childhood friends from Ayr in Scotland who formed the band in 1995. Their powerful, anthemic single 'Mountains' is their most successful UK hit to date – it stormed to No.5 in the UK chart in late August 2008.

[Verse 1] Took a bite out of a mountain range, thought my teeth would break the mountain down Let's go, I want to go all the way to the horizon Took a drink out of the ocean and treading water there before I drowned Let's dive, I want to dive to the bottom of the ocean Took a ride, I took a ride, I wouldn't go there without you Let's take a ride, we'll take a ride, I wouldn't leave here without you [Pre-Chorus] I am a mountain I am the sea You can't take that away from me I am a mountain I am the sea You can't take that away from me [Chorus] Cause you tear us apart With all the things you don't like You can't understand, that I won't leave 'Til we're finished here and then you'll find out Where it all went wrong [Verse 2] I wrote a note to the jungle and They wrote me back that I was never crowned King of the jungle so, there's an end to my horizon Took a ride, I took a ride, I wouldn't go there without you Let's take a ride, we'll take a ride, I wouldn't leave here without you [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] Nothing lasts forever, except you and me You are my mountain, you are my sea Love can last forever, between you and me You are my mountain, you are my sea I am a mountain I am the sea You can't take that away from me I am a mountain I am the sea I am a mountain I am the sea
