Periscope Lyrics

Well there I lie awake with you
It's nothing new
Like an old cartoon
Flickering on the TV

Through a periscope
I see our lives
Through my eyes
I know
We'll be alright
We'll be alright

Because I have been waiting on you
All my life
All my life
I've been frustrated and blue
I never knew
I never knew
How much I love
You
How much I love
You

The three words I head onto
I love you
Please see me through
When the world is getting me down
And when the summer suns
Beams down on us
Broken up
With all our rust
We'll let go
We'll let go

There will come a time
Looking down the line
Truth will be hard to find
But don't be afraid
Our troubles they won't
Stay the same
We'll be okay

Because I have been waiting on you
All my life
All my life
I've been frustrated and blue
I never knew
I never knew
How much I love
You
How much I love
You
Because I have been waiting on you
All my life
All my life
I've been frustrated and blue
I never knew
I never knew
How much I love
You
How much I love
You

‘Periscope’ tells a winding tale of how love can be weathered yet rise stronger. This release marks the first song produced by London producer/engineer Matt Wiggins (Adele, Glass Animals, London Grammar). “Periscope” was released on Valentine’s Day 2019 as a follow-up single to “P.D.R.” which was released to much success.

On January 2nd, 2016 The Bergamot packed up their belongings in Brooklyn, NY and headed out on the open road to find themselves. 50,000 miles across 50 states as one of the most vicious elections was setting in on an unexpecting nation. What the band experienced and found along the way changed their lives forever. “Periscope” was written halfway along this epic journey as a love song from Nathaniel to Jillian.

The Bergamot is set to release a full-length album summer 2019.

The band was recently featured in Rock Band: Rivals being named one of the “Hottest Emerging Music Talents” by People Magazine launching them into the international spotlight.

The “Periscope” music video was filmed over a span of 3 years. The video contains footage from live shows, hotel rooms, and locations from 6 States, Michigan to Hawaii, telling the duo’s story over the last 3 years.
