Song Lyrics

We were born without time, nameless in the arms
Of a mother, a father and God
When the world would wait for us, a thousand years in the crush
Of our eyes, fearless and awed
Quietly we'd fade in to sleep, with nothing on our minds

Then we longed to be loved, in the rush we'd become
Some things we thought we'd never be
We were surprised by how hard, left wary and scarred
From the nights spent feeling incomplete
And all those evenings swearing at the sky, wishing for more time
All the promises we broke when we tried, just wasting all our time

We grow old all at once, and it comes like a punch
In the gut, in the back, in the face
When it seems someone's lied and our parents have died
And we hold on to each other in their place
And I feel the water rising around us, and maybe that's okay
Yeah I feel the world changing all at once, I guess it will be okay

Then we all had one hope, there was someone looking down
To return our bodies to each other, and the ground
