Remember how we chased it like shadows Life was the ocean; we wanted to swim Looking back now, it's just how the path goes They tell you it's over; you never begin
We don't give ourselves time - the way that we used to To watch it all happen, unfolding in sighs You'd think we were blind, the things we can see through The things we look past when emboldened inside
But it's alright now, it's alright The ghosts of our glories are gray-bearded guides The sound of our sorrows has stirred us inside (But) I think maybe I've never felt more alive
I asked you just once if you thought we could be found You never did tell me; but I think I know now Whatever ship comes, by dark sea or gray cloud As long as the well's deep, we make it somehow
I don't know how to make peace or find it We're most of us stories we're scared to explain But what if there's sound, somewhere caught behind this A song we can sing while we're lying awake
