The Nautical Mile

A fistful of feeling tossed into the water The boat has a hole, we're sinking Take it in stride and stand down the world It comes much harder than Comes much harder than Comes much harder than Harder than one thousand hard hands And when it fights, fight back with right minds Yes it is uncertain but I'm surely certain That we all must get along and Take it in hand and pull yourself up This comes much harder than Comes much harder than Harder than one thousand hard hands Suck in that gut, you're in luck You've got a thousand people on your side Take it in stride And when there's nothing left to patch the hole We'll swim together Let the boat sink to the bottom of the stream With all its long lost friends And if it comes down to just you and I Standing on the last corner of the last town of the last city In the burning world You'll still have someone on your side You'll still have someone on your side And when there's nothing left to patch the hole We'll swim together Let the boat sink to the bottom To the bottom of the stream With all its long lost friends Abandoned, drowned in loneliness Not strong enough Strong enough to hold our dreams And if it comes down to just you and I Standing on the last corner of the last town of the last city In the burning world You'll still have someone on your side Life is bigger, so much bigger than all this Life is bigger, so much bigger than all this
