Why can't we live the life we used to live Before we followed them in the deepest valley Out of the faith we keep Now we're two wounded sharks Sinking like bait in a mercury sea Children and soldiers, rattling bones Weak and ignorant, youth I suppose is a treasure spent
Whatever comes your way All the promises that we've made Rising until you can reach me my friend And you'll sleep when you're dead Swimming until you can see land Swimming until you can touch me with your hand
Damned if we don't, damned if we do Battered and sore, we'll follow you in every step you take
Whatever comes your way All the promises that we've made Rising until you can reach me my friend And you'll sleep when you're dead Swimming until you can see land Swimming until you can touch me with your hand
Look in my eyes Guess what I mean, sort it out through the fire You and I'll be gone, oblivion
We used to wait We used to wait but the light came too late Now we're blinded by the sun, oblivion
And whatever comes our way Rise until we fade away And whatever comes your way Swim until you can touch me with your hand And whatever comes our way Rise until we fade away And whatever comes my way I'm right here you can touch me with your hand
