From a tangle of intention
Decision and dead branches
I did my best, but couldn't pull out any answers
Was living in the lurch behind this fear of going backwards
To close another chapter
So standing on the pier
At the shore of all I've done
Nothing left except to wait
And hope the tide would come up
Isn't it a shame how much I've left upon the dock?
In the name of moving on
I cut the ropes and cast off
I know, I know
You've been swimming so slow
And there's a light on the horizon
So long, so long
Hope you make it back home
Don't lose sight of where you started from
I know, I know
You've been swimming so slow
And there's a light on the horizon
So long, so long
Hope you make it back home
Don't lose sight of where you started from
Don't lose sight of where you started from
In a haze of aimless rest
With the crutch of coming last
Caved and craned my neck
As a year went floating past and
Crawled out to the edge
It was time to leave the raft
Forever on a crest
On a wave that couldn't crash
Had a hard time coming back
Forgot the taste of salt
I was grasping at a chance
When I got dashed upon the rocks
And I'd been casting seams across the bricks in my facade
Cracked up, smiling at the tideline
Washed up back where I belong
I know, I know
You've been swimming so slow
And there's a light on the horizon
So long, so long
Hope you make it back home
Don't lose sight of where you started from
I know, I know
You've been swimming so slow
And there's a light on the horizon
So long, so long
Hope you make it back home
Don't lose sight of where you started from
I know, I know (I know, I know)
There's a light on the horizon
So long, so long (so long, so long)
Don't lose sight of where you started from
Don't lose sight of where you started from
