lyrics

I’ll tell you something you should know
The parts don’t add up to the whole
Right here, right now
Is all there is to understand
No fortunes told or mystic signs
Will yet unfold from tracing lines
Upon your hand

Your eyes were shining like the sun
I spoke of what we’d left undone
I’ll take the skies
You can keep the seas and lands
My greatest fear was wasting time
Just sitting here and tracing lines
Across the sand

BRIDGE
I’m going home
This island life is not for me
I’m cut and dried
Without a hint of mystery
At night I dream of being carried out to sea

That my heart fails is no surprise
I ran my race this was my prize
Your careless words
Are causing more harm than was planned
There’s nothing else for us to find
We lost ourselves just tracing lines
To where we stand

BRIDGE
I’m going home
This island life is not for me
I’m cut and dried
I’m far beyond all mystery
But late at night I dream of being carried out to sea
