Lyrics
Did you ever find yourself running from the cold
Never really sure of a safer place to go
Try to find a place to make your stand
Wallow through the dark with your wishes in one hand
You reach for the arrow that found it's mark
A memory all along never had to plan your part
The days they run through you like a river in the rock
A quiver in the marrow, a shiver in the dark
Saying goodbye was never hard enough
I could cry, you could call my bluff
No reason why we don't give up
Just draining sand till the time is up
Your boat on the water the waves run high
Feel it getting shallow still no land in sight
Your maps overboard, the compass broke mast is fractured
Sails they are torn
You search for the house the bares the light
Wonder how long you can put up this fight
You pray for the fire that burns ashore
A love and desire that just ain't there no more
Saying goodbye was never hard enough
I could cry, you could call my bluff
No reason why we don't give up
Just draining sand till the time is up
You reach for the arrow that found it's mark
A memory all along never had to plan your part
The days they run through you like a river in the rock
A quiver in the marrow, a shiver in the dark
Saying goodbye was never hard enough
You could cry, I could call my bluff
No reason why we don't give up
Just draining sand till the time is up
Just draining sand till the time is up
