From the recording The Weight Of All This Hope
Lyrics
“Don’t be afraid”
Thus said the Lord
But here I am still falling on my sword
Cause I know it’s only me to blame
If I comb my hair does that make it better?
She, unaware of my pain
And I know I’m the same as ever
If I’ve grown up I just don’t remember when
I’ll have to do it again
She draws the tide in
And I’m showing up but I’m still hiding
We’re sitting close together but a universe apart
If I can’t beat the Hell out of my self-defeating heart
Dive, dive, dive, dive!
Why do I wait?
I have no excuse, my path is straight
And each moment I sit still and hesitate
Is gone forever
Hide in the waves, ankle deep
I write my feelings in a letter
And fall asleep, hoping the ocean
Will carry it to you
She draws the tide in
And I’m showing up but I’m still hiding
We’re sitting close together but a universe apart
If I can’t beat the Hell out of my self-defeating heart
In the light of stained glass windows
Melting wax and guiding flame
In the light of stained glass windows
I need some good words to say
She draws the tide in
And I’m showing up but I’m still hiding
We’re sitting close together but a universe apart
If I can’t beat the Hell out of my self-defeating heart
