lyrics

so I tried to chase you down to be profound
but only found the unforgiving ground
by all the blazing suns! the things I’ve done, the ones I’ve won
have only swelled my tongue

loneliness. it comes in waves just like it used to come
when I was fearful of most things and everyone

so I gathered all my things, I flew on wings and traveled far
to catch a shooting star
and I held the shell up to my ear to hear the ocean’s tide
that’s when I felt alive

but everything that goes up must come down again
and the race we swore we won we must begin again

I was reckless and I traded all my good will for good times
now here I lie
so we’ll see what new moons bring and fly on wings and travel far
to catch a shooting star
