lyrics

lighthouse, beacon on a hill,
the spinning glow reminds me of a town i somewhat used to know
remember, remember what you and i would find
those humid nights when we had nothing
but all of time was on our side

water breaks and takes us over
spread your arms against the wind and let yourself erode

and on these stones our words will hang still in the summer air
and in these mouths we try to go back to how it was before
and as we almost fade away
you can hear us out on the breakwall:
no this is not the place, but no this is not the end

these days
i try to keep that place in time
i'm just holding it on to it all
oh these days
i maintain my roots but friends they scatter out like leaves
and settle elsewhere and and move on

water breaks and takes us over
spread your arms against the wind and let yourself erode

and in these streets our words are frozen in the winter air
and in these mouths we try to go back to how it was before
and as we almost fade away
you can hear us out on the breakwall:
no this is not the place, but no this is not the end

we look to the breakwall when we run
escape from the suburbs to the seas
don't stop 'til we reach the ocean
sprint 'til the water hits your knees

and on these stones our words will hang still in the summer air
and in these mouths we try to go back to how it was before
and as we almost fade away
you can hear us out on the breakwall:
no this is not the place, but no this is not the end
