Lyrics

This time it’s going to work.
I just won’t think at all.

I watch and wait as these Polaroids fade
To slurring words and twisted shades of green.
Holding onto whatever is left
And letting go of all that has been.

Slow down, you’re moving to fast.
I need to catch my breath and fear I might lose
All this energy I saved up for this
And now might never use.

We’ll sink like submarines in this sea of dreams,
Submerged but still breathing,
Lost but still achieving what we know we’ll find.

We’re ebbing and flowing.
The current is pulling us everywhere
And our strength in rowing
Will keep up from going
Around and around and around.

This time it’s going to work.
I just won’t think at all.

We’ll sink like submarines in this sea of dreams,
Submerged but still breathing,
Lost but still achieving what we know we’ll find.

We’re ebbing and flowing.
The current is pulling us everywhere
And our strength in rowing
Will keep up from going
Around and around and around.

There’s a distance between us,
But we’re existing together
You and I.
