Lyrics
Noah
Never saw it coming 'til the rain became an endless storm --
an ending born.
When the waters rose, you climbed to higher ground to watch for signs
of grand designs to save us.
It's time to find a way to float the river now.
Our fate was always in the current anyhow. (no, don't you cry)
Oh, Noah...
you know
we're just stowaways
on a ship the size of the world.
Pulled out all the photographs and all the things we can't replace --
just in case.
Leave behind the trappings of a story that we came to trust.
We have to cut the anchor to
every plan we made... has been unmade for us.
How small it all appears under the water rushing us away.
Oh, Noah...
you know
we're just stowaways
on a ship the size of the world.
We are temporary lights
shining in the deep wild sky:
Holding everything and nothing
but the glow we emanate.
Oh, Noah...
you know
we're just stowaways
on a ship the size of the world.
