Lyrics
lapse
swimming laps in my mind today
in the wake of this after
you said it won't be the same today
for that i'm flattered
tracing over my hand today
bumped your ring wrapped around me
the line slips and i think of you
and the stillness you're after
chasing frames from my mind today
wondering what am i after
you say it takes time to walk away
from years drenched in chatter
tracing over your smile today
your curves are lost in my head
the line slips and i think of you
and everything that we had
hey i won't look back
to see the water rising
to fill in all the cracks
hey i won't look back
to swimming in your brown eyes
or drowning in your laugh
in the wake of this after
this morning seems to say
won't you look at what matters
because the rest just goes away
tracing over my past today
you were dripping from me
there's so much i did not say
does it matter?
hey i won't look back
to see the water rising
to fill in all the cracks
hey i won't look back
to swimming in your brown eyes
or drowning in you
am i saying too much
if i say what's on my mind?
am i saying too much this time?
i said it all this time
this is the last time that you don't see me
it's a brand new day
