Wider oceans have been swam
than boats might sail between us,
Ev’ry tear a river, keeping me far
Do you believe me?

(Oh)

All the lies in in lovers’ wake,
this river is a monster,
Slay it with your kisses, sweetly I pray.
Paddle me home, Oh home

(Oh Oh)

Softly count your breaths,
for fear I’m running out of time,
For I’m shaving through days,
Seconds by minutes by hours

(Oh Oh)

Longer nighttimes have been slept
than days may crawl between us,
Nothing here means anything, that I’m sure,
these are just words,
these words I sing, have no meaning…
