Lyrics
I’m right, you’re wrong
So, you know it won’t be long
‘til we both are headed down to separate oceans
Pushed along by a flood of emotions
Tell me, where’d we get this crazy notion?
It’s what you said
Still stuck in my head
Gonna pick it apart to find some reason
To justify the changing of my season
This is it, no more teasin’
God, lifts the oceans drop by drop, oh
God, places crystals one by one on top
Drifts of shining powder ten feet high
Pure and white, together, touching sky
Resting there, before the great divide.
(instrumental verse)
It’s gravity, I guess
Makes our hearts digress
And no one’s blessed with wings, no
We trade in our feathers for boot-strings
The cruelest season is the spring,
The spring...
God, lifts the oceans drop by drop, oh
God, places crystals one by one on top
Drifts of shining powder ten feet high
Pure and white, together, touching sky
Oh God, hold us here... hold us here
Ease our fear... oh God hold us here
Before the great divide...
Before the great divide...
Before the great divide.
(fade with sound of waiver of liability language)
