Staring out at the water
Girls call to the sky
The footsteps on the shingles
Pass us by
Staring up at the red sun
Fading in the light
Searching for the stars
They punch holes right through the night
Climbing up on the cliff top
To the oncoming wind
Moving to the edge
Where no one goes
Looking all the way down
Way down below
All that you have going
You can see how you let it go
And everything falls apart
But it doesn't touch your heart
You seem stronger
You get through day by day
When the hailstones knock you down
You can always hold your ground
You stand up
Pull it together, pull yourself back in the world
Face the wall
The sea of nothingness
The darkest dark of all
But I want you coming through
I see you coming through
In the eyes of those we're walking through
The light is being retired
Cutting all the ties to the hopes they'd raised
Drowning in the water
That keeps crashing overhead
Hanging on to anything
Any word could say
And everything falls apart
But it doesn't touch your heart
You seem stronger
You get through day by day
And the hailstones knock you down
But you can always hold your ground
You stand up
Pull it together, pull yourself back in the world
Face the wall
Amongst that nothingness
The blackest black of all
I watch you coming through
I see you coming through
