witness - yesterday's wake lyrics

set sail
we’re leaving the harbor now
christen the ship
let the city slip from the starboard bow
remember when the waves were only waist deep?
when the only thing we knew about pain was scr-ped knees?
when we would still walk where the sh-lls were in shards
so that we could find that starfish before dark
but, as the comfort grows
we become the flow
and the ebb and tide that swept our lives into the undertow
i’m foolish
for building sandcastles where the waves break
you fought the current
and focused on yesterday’s wake
you vacated our oasis on the premise
that our complicated promises were tarnished by the present

and i fear the tempest hasn’t left your lips yet
but i love you
and that’s why i’m staying anch0r-d to this shipwreck
i fear the tempest hasn’t even left your lips yet
but i love you
and i’m staying anch0r-d to this shipwreck
should the water ever rise above our collarbones
i’ll be close by, closed eyes, cause you’re not alone
i’ll never let the waters rise above our collarbones
open up your eyes, baby doll, cause you’re not alone

sitting on a suitcase, knees to elbows
hands to face, like “d-mn, it’s damp today”
and the transits late again
i make friends with the night sky
calling each star on its white lies
but, from the sand i sit wondering where the candlelit nights
that used to be life decided to abandon ship
i won’t stand for it, i can’t handle it
been waiting for a little wind since the anchor slipped
i’ve got five fingers clinging to the driftwood
looking for the riptide that you travel on
but safe harbors and stagnant ponds
couldn’t make hope float if the p-ssion’s gone

should the water ever rise above our collarbones
i’ll be close by, closed eyes, cause you’re not alone
i’ll never let the waters rise above our collarbones
open up your eyes, baby doll, cause you’re not alone

should the water ever rise above our collarbones
i’ll be close by, closed eyes, cause you’re not alone
i’ll never let the waters rise above our collarbones
i’ll never let the waters rise above our collarbones
i’ll never let the waters rise above our collarbones
i’ll never let the waters rise above our collarbones
i’ll never let the waters rise above our collarbones
i’ll never let the waters rise above our collarbones
