Lyrics
VERSE 1
Initially the news was like a boulder on my chest
But in that same elastic moment I thought
This could be the best
There’s no telling how I’ll feel or what I’ll do
But I’ll hang on tight to them
If I can’t hang on to you
CHORUS
I spent two weeks praying that you’d leave on your own
Cause I knew I would never be whole
Again
VERSE 2
I asked all the questions like why me and why now
And is this how it feels
When you almost drown
But there’s no one here to answer
The room is dry and dark
It’s clear that only I can patch the whole here in my heart
BRIDGE
they offer consolation but it washes past my ear
Mixed in with the voices are the sounds of my own fear
When I say
CHORUS
INST/WHISTLING
VERSE 3
Afterward I watched you floating up beyond the sun
And I believed you when you said
You understood what I had done
Oh
