Lyrics
We were cast into the current
as were these last words that he wrote:
you only get to keep the things
that you refuse to let go.
You can cross every sea
searching for a new sky
but then, just there, you'll be.
We've been cast into the current,
were the only words she said.
And then she sent me off for straws
as she settled in her bed.
You can burn all your daylight
searching for a new sky
but then, just there, you'll be.
We are cast into the current
and it's a heartache that I grab.
A memory wound with fear and grief
and I stuff it in my bag.
We can spend all our nights
searching for a blue sky
