And I heard you say that nothing good ever wants to go your way So you take back the suicide pact and ink it on your skin You never really knew how much you meant And you heard me say that you never really learned what you left that day Holding back on panic attacks, and leaving out your name Ensuring all obituaries blank Oh the swell of the Earth Opened its mouth and swallowed you first With skin on your bones, you're coming home Your bike's out on the lawn Passed out on the porch by early dawn All the frays in the quilt Unraveled all the ends of our sleepless guilt Of all our friends that played pretend, you always laughed the most One of many signs I should've known You will guide the long ships away from all the shallows You will be the lost light traced upon our shadows Now you're laying waste to all the different ways that you've shown your grace From trick or treats to small defeats We felt your loss the most Blanket shells without your inner ghost And the cold kept you still, while you let your snowfall memories write out your will Like blinking lights on Christmas night, your neurons LED the screen Your nothingness meant everything to me Now on New Years Eve, as lovers kiss each other as they count down from three You would tesselate at the backyard gate, your soul is going - gone We lost you long before you had moved on Then you jumped from the edge of a different impermanence by the water's ledge Your lungs filled with your family's love We're drowning by the pier, in the ocean of your mother's tears You will guide the long ships away from all the shallows You will be the lost light traced upon our shadows Woah-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh You will guide the long ships away from all the shallows You will be the lost light traced upon our shadows You will guide the long ships away from all the shallows You will be the lost light traced upon our shadows And I heard you say (You will guide the long ships away from all the shallows) That nothing good ever wants to go your way (You will be the lost light traced upon our shadows) So you take back the suicide pact and ink it on your skin (You will guide the long ships away from all the shallows) You never really knew how much you meant (You will be the lost light traced upon our shadows) And you heard me say (You will guide the long ships away from all the shallows) That you never really learned what you left that day (You will be the lost light traced upon our shadows) Holding back on panic attacks, and leaving out your name (You will guide the long ships away from all the shallows) Ensuring all obituaries blank (You will be the lost light traced upon our shadows)
