lyrics

[Verse, David]

How can I know?
Your breathing's not telling me anything
Have it all
Little Icarus into blue
Have it all
'Cause why wouldn’t you
Won't it be
Nothing at all?
Won't you say
Nothing at all?
And how can
How can I have that view?

[Chorus, Keegan]

So now with everything that has passed
And everything that I asked
If there's one thing that I know
It's not how high you can go
I draw that line in the sand
At doing the best that I can
Ooh, I'm level with me
Calling all others, we're sweeping the sea

[Verse, David]

How can you know?
Your breathing's not telling you anything
Till a speck you flew
Have it all
Oxidizing you too
Won't it be
Nothing at all?
Won't you say
Nothing at all?
And why won't
Why won't you come down too?

[Chorus, Keegan]

So now return to the home you forgot
Because it's refuge you sought
There's not a thing that we say
When breath in the air blows away
And as it sinks in the sand
That line is crossed in the end
I heard from the tops of the trees
Oh, we're sweeping the sea

Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh (we're sweeping the sea)

This was our first live show we saw together as a band, and these guys killed it. Fantastic album if you're into energetic pop/garage rock. Downcoast
