about

Recorded in the shed at Paige's cabin.

lyrics

My hopes a boat, I float across the sea
Into your arms I'm wishing that we'll finally meet
I dive from my platform up in the sky
Hoping you'll catch me, hoping you'll catch me before I die

My life's a lonely island far from truth
All I have are broken memories of you
They're barely there they're barely even real
Yet I give them life with all that I feel

La di da la di da la di da

You think my smile was crafted by the years
I've been alone with all of my worst fears
Sure that's it, but there is just a tad bit more
I asked for this, I asked to smile into the shores

You think my word has died with my name
Those who knew me think that I have gone insane
But you're the fool, see sinking in your moat
A corked bottle and my words on a note

La di da la di da la di da
