lyrics

If i lost all I hold dear
I would walk into the woods
like we did today

and see what’s on the other side
we never walk to-
why do we never walk through?

it is the fear of leaving it all behind,
or do the things we know become a blanket?
(wake up, wake up)

I would go swim in the riptide
and try to make it back
follow the coast like they suggest and drift
far enough to say i’ve gone somewhere
and let the water push for now
for now

we’re brought up on blocks;
we build to make ourselves.
wood grain, like the finish on your walls.
snake skin in your bed,
it’s strange the years you shed.

twelve years from now
who will you be?
considering the shell you left here last night next to me.

snake skin in your bed
it’s strange the years you shed
and how you thought the walls wouldn’t peel
like we do.
