Third track off the debut album, Weather Making (due out March 28th, 2014)
lyrics
On a wave, on a boat
The salts worn through my coat,
Left my feet dry
But how I’m dyin to be depraved
(To appreciate)
I’m on a wave, could be a bird
Well I saved on my shirt
For that second hand dirt was all I ever craved
(That’s where you’d been that day)
Well I don’t know, I do not know
I could be anyone anything
Oh my god who knows?
(This is all I know)
So say No
Say It Aint So
Say, “Child when will you grow up to die down?”
“Why don’t you just take it slow?”
(Let’s just take it slow)
So here I go, here I go
Like a hummin bird
With a heart not yet for the world to know
(Just watch as it explodes)
Yeah here I go, Here I go
Like the storms of the gust
Like the dirt of the dust
Like the autumn leaves I blow
So I dive on down to the thunder under ground
Watch lightnin happen
And I show myself I am nobody else
Existin in pure abstraction
While the only art I could ever tell apart
Was in the interaction
And for all it was worth on the earth
It was just a fraction
So there you are, there you are
Well I looked through your eyes
But I never dared to see how far
(Since that’s all you are)
Yeah there you are, there you are
And I swear your locks drop down
Like golden fallin shootin stars
(Since I can’t tell nothing apart)
And I won’t say, never need to say
Yet every time you ask I know you know
It’s just that I love you that dearly
(Cleary)
So here we go, here we go
Two hearts two souls
You are now forever part of
My greater whole
So we take what we found
we find a spot on the ground
Build a mansion
And as we build our world
We make it strong and secure
We watch a vast expansion
And as we talk our little talks
And while we walk our little walks
We form a relation
Which is all we’ll ever need for a solid foundation
On a wave, on a wave
Culminatin slowly if only to quickly break away
(But what a lovely fade)
I’m on a wave, I am on a wave
And was the sun in my way?
Has it been rainin here
or were your tears all you had to say?
So there’s the sky
I’m so small, I’m so high
But if love is the air
I was born to breathe and fly
So here I go, here I go
To steady my head
Open my heart
Love my soul
And to go “Oh”
To glow like a light
With the water flow
To grow with the trees
Like a breeze blow
Just to go, “Oh, I know so”:
Just to go, “Oh, here I go”
