Story Behind The Song

This song is basically a lullaby about a fight with a loved one. Relationships are hard mostly because humans can be stubborn and selfish. Compromise is the only way to keep love going, with constant bending from side to side in acts of empathy and selflessness. Arguments happen, and typically the surface issue that birthed the chaos is only a facade for what's really going on deep down. Sometimes the only way to heal is to dig to the heart of what's causing a strain and expose it, warts and all.

Lyrics

Maybe I was blinded by the sea
An unexpected consequence
Of a light held out of reach
Maybe I deserved the rise and fall
Perception of equality
Wasn't there at all, there at all

I just can't remember what the fighting was for
Caught up in the waves of some forgotten civil war
You were hiding from the storm
I was grasping for more
Always out of reach from the banks of your
Beautiful shore

Maybe I was lost inside a breeze
Overrun by confidence
And the gravel under me
Maybe I deserved the rising tide
Holding on to memories
Those fabricated lies, deep inside

I just can't remember what the fighting was for
Caught up in the waves of some forgotten civil war
You were hiding from the storm
I was grasping for more
Always out of reach from the banks of your
Beautiful shore

These days its hard to sleep, so hard to keep still
Without your hand to hold its hard to get well

Maybe I was lacking empathy
Maybe I showed the worst of me

I just can't remember what the fighting was for
Caught up in the waves of some forgotten civil war
You were hiding from the storm
I was grasping for more
Always out of reach from the banks of your
Beautiful shore
I was always out of reach from the banks of your
Beautiful shore
