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 scraped knees?

When we would still walk where the shells were in shards,

If it meant 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

And while 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 youWitness - Yesterday's Wake - http://motolyrics.com/witness/yesterdays-wake-lyrics.html

That's why I'm staying anchored to this shipwreck

So should the water ever rise above our collarbones

I'll be close by, closed eyes, cause I'm 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 "Damn, it's damp today"

And the transits late again

I make friends with the night sky

Calling each star on it's 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 bit of wind since the anchor slipped

I've got five fingers clinging to the driftwood

Looking for riptide that you travel on

But safe harbors and stagnant ponds

Couldn't make hope float if the passion's gone
