lyrics

There's a path lined with pines and the feelings you feel
and they stand up as personal scarecrows
Whether I'm walking or wishing I was,
they point back behind me like arrows
They bark, "Island tradition begs you to take your jelly legs
and walk where you can't hurt our owner"
I crawl in the sand, and I sweat 'til it reddens my hands

I was once hard to see in a sea of my seed
when you found me with Paul, treading water
I played on your strengths and your weaknesses too
like a one-on-one desperate doctor
Put a stethoscope up to the walls of your cave
just to hear what a planet would sound like
I could hover and scan, but I never could properly land

Lauren saw the good in me
She listened to me sing for weeks
and all I did was push you away
So when I hear, "And now let us pray,"
I don't feel a thing inside
I don't think of you and I
and that's the story I'm sticking to
