I remember, buried by nights
Dark enough to see no difference with my eyes wide open
The only way to find myself was to feel it out
The only way to get somewhere was to go
Did you ever know the feeling
When every fire burns off-
To wander where the smoke blows
To Just get on with it
What a way to learn
Walking with my shadow
Watching how the light moves
Just as I get used to it
Now I wake up
Undress myself
Of stories
Of what I’ve played witness to
-As if any of it mattered
The only way to trust this day is to look alive
The only way to get somewhere is to run
Did you ever know the feeling
When every fire burns off-
To wander where the smoke blows
To just get on with it?
What a way to learn
Walking with my shadow
Watching how the light moves
Just as I get used to it
Gonna marry the weather, the wild
And find out how we are all just water
Dark enough to see no difference with my eyes wide open
The only way to find myself was to feel it out
The only way to get somewhere was to go
Did you ever know the feeling
When every fire burns off-
To wander where the smoke blows
To Just get on with it
What a way to learn
Walking with my shadow
Watching how the light moves
Just as I get used to it
Now I wake up
Undress myself
Of stories
Of what I’ve played witness to
-As if any of it mattered
The only way to trust this day is to look alive
The only way to get somewhere is to run
Did you ever know the feeling
When every fire burns off-
To wander where the smoke blows
To just get on with it?
What a way to learn
Walking with my shadow
Watching how the light moves
Just as I get used to it
Gonna marry the weather, the wild
And find out how we are all just water
