Back when I used to wander
I was always out looking for signs
But they were never there, so I'd pull 'em from the air
We all believed in something
But like you, I can't say why
It's just a whisper in our ear, or a bottle for our fears
Hold me to the light, let me shine
Come hold me to the floor, and say it's alright
Come hold me 'neath the water's skin 'til I'm new again
And I said, "What I was thinking"
Now, you can't see what's good 'til it's gone
Then, there's something to be said for a place to lay your head
You told me I was simple
And you injured me with that piece of my mind
And I listened to the creek, and it did much more for me
I'll hold you to the light, let you shine
I'll hold you against the floor, and say it's alright
'Cause down beneath the water's skin where we will swim
And there's diamonds on the surface then
And they'll come clean us, we'll both live again
These days, I barely wander
And I don't need no more of them signs
I'll just breathe in all that air and be happy that it's there
