Lyrics

I’m right, you’re wrong So, you know it won’t be long ‘til we both are headed down to separate oceans Pushed along by a flood of emotions Tell me, where’d we get this crazy notion? It’s what you said Still stuck in my head Gonna pick it apart to find some reason To justify the changing of my season This is it, no more teasin’ God, lifts the oceans drop by drop, oh God, places crystals one by one on top Drifts of shining powder ten feet high Pure and white, together, touching sky Resting there, before the great divide. (instrumental verse) It’s gravity, I guess Makes our hearts digress And no one’s blessed with wings, no We trade in our feathers for boot-strings The cruelest season is the spring, The spring... God, lifts the oceans drop by drop, oh God, places crystals one by one on top Drifts of shining powder ten feet high Pure and white, together, touching sky Oh God, hold us here... hold us here Ease our fear... oh God hold us here Before the great divide... Before the great divide... Before the great divide. (fade with sound of waiver of liability language)
