lyrics

Now I remember what you said, and all the mixed signals I read
Could never lead me back in time
Where all these things might feel more right
As though your life was on the line
Or so it seemed, I chased the dream
To its end
You made me smile
For a change, I wait a while
It's all the same, after a while

Staying up all night
Hanging so close to watch these moments end

Spirit inside it
Diving into the tide's abyssal eyes
Swelling and rising
Wearing those eyes tonight and riding high

With all the lives I've left behind
It's hard to ask someone to stay
And know that everything could change
Nothing more for you to say
Just bodies tied down to the Gulf
All my hope wove like a rope
Would I die?
Or would I climb?
A few more days I can unwind
Between the lines so undefined
Thoughts so loud I drowned in silence
I felt alone, I felt so violent

Staying up all night
Waiting up all night
Staying out all night
Hanging so close to watch these moments end

Spirit inside it
Diving into the tide's abyssal eyes
Swelling and rising
Wearing those eyes tonight and riding high
