Lyrics
treading water in this sea - ain't a crash course in misery - these times, this life - my mind they keep on fighting - in your eyes there's light? - though we might be losing ground - it won't bring us down - waiting, writhing - the waves deciding - lost and searching - night skies still guiding - in your eyes there's light - though we might be losing ground - it won't bring us down - day breaks into new lands? - moments discovered - calm winds new sands - of time to recover - in your eyes - theirs still light - burning all the while - in your eyes - there's light - though we might be losing ground - in your eyes there's light - although we were losing ground - it's not breaking down
