lyrics

Used to dream the way a nervous child would dream,
Not what I’d done but what I thought I was about to
In your dreams there’s no one to doubt you
I conceived a world of rivers, lakes, and streams
You leave the shore or the current flows without you
Can’t always reap what you put the plow to
(Now the current’s gone)
You can’t explain what you don’t know how to

I’m not afraid of the open water
I used to call the coast my home
I’d spend my days on the open water
If I still spent my time alone

Pull me like changing tides,
I’m going under
Too tired to tow my line,
Let me up
Unless it seems to late to change my mind
Got a sinking feeling you’ll pull me like changing tides
I’m going under

Used to be such an elegant machine
To spend my time creating symmetry
Used to seem such a simple song to me
To commit my life to such festivity and winter imagery
What it means to need a break from your routine
The thing that lifts me up is what is wrong with me, what is wrong with me?

Can’t always reap what you put the plow to
I do the only thing I know how to

I’m not afraid of the open water
I’ve spent so much time alone

Pull me like changing tides,
I’m going under
Too tired to tow my line,
Let me up
Unless it seems to late to change my mind
Got a sinking feeling you’ll pull me like changing tides
I’m going under

I’d wade through all my days
To fill in all the cracks
Every look that meant “dial it back”
Morning now, there’s no returning
Water surface sunrise burning

I’m not ashamed
I’d wade through all my days
And still never face it
I’ll be afraid
Until the day I am reclaimed
By the open water
