lyrics

When all the city's dark
When all the sirens stop
drive on with the high beams on
i never ask aloud

The miles and minutes separate
Within this place I’ll wait, I’ll wait
you've never needed rescuing
the tide is low
lets walk in

The ocean knows
what you withhold
let go
I want the rest of you

you never mention wars you lost
when all the shooting stopped
the decade where you came apart
but you've kept count
of hidden scars

i want to know of every snow
of every shouting episode
you've kept afloat with air you own
but take my hand
don't swim alone

at night, give in
you cry so soon
if you have to be
then i'll be with you
