Water hits the rocks

WATER HITS THE ROCKS (E A D G B E, capo 3)

My friends are in the water. I’m standing on the shore. They’re climbing up the mountain. I’m at the base with a sore neck.

Not done yet, not thinking. Just one breath away. Not done yet, not blinking.

 

My friends are in the treetop. I’m trapped inside the trunk. They’re flying into the sunset. I’m only getting heavier.

But I’m better than before. Just one breath behind. I’m better than I thought.

 

Water hits the rocks. For a brief moment they shine. It is everything we want.

Water hits the rocks. For a brief moment they shine. It reminds me I’ll be fine.

 

Water hits the rocks. Slowly breaking them apart. It reminds me of our hearts. We are tethered to the start. We are running for the light. We are tethered to the start. We are looking form both ends. We are tethered to the start.

We are tethered to the end. We are looking at the start. We are running from the light.

Water hits the rocks. For a brief moment they shine. It tells us we’ll be fine.
