Heartlines (Acoustic)

Oh, the river, oh, the river, it's running free

And, oh, the joy, oh, the joy it brings to me

But I know it'll have to drown me

Before it can breathe easy

And I've seen it in the flights of birds, I've seen it in you

In the entrails of the animals, the blood running through

But in order to get to the heart of things

Sometimes, I have to cut through

But you can

Keep it up

I know you can

Just keep following the heartlines on your hand

Just keep following the heartlines on your hand

And keep it up, I know you can

Just keep following the heartlines on your hand

'Cause I am

Odyssey on odyssey, and land over land

Creeping and crawling like the sea over sand

Still, I follow heartlines on your hand

And this fantasy, this fallacy, this tumbling stone

Echoes of a city that's long overgrown

Your heart is the only place that I call home

How can I be returned?

And you can keep it up

I know you can

Just keep following the heartlines on your hand

Just keep following the heartlines on your hand

And keep it up, I know you can

Just keep following the heartlines on your hand

What a thing to do

Oh, what a thing to choose

But know, in some way, I'm there with you

Up against the wall on a Wednesday afternoon

Just keep following the heartlines on your hand

And keep it up, I know you can

Just keep following the heartlines on your hand

'Cause I am
