lyrics

Daylight creeps forward to where the land ends.
Dew settles, waiting, on plants in the sand.

We can almost see the past.
She can almost hear the water.
I can almost feel a soul slip through my thoughts to the world after.

Your reach should exceed all that you can grasp.
The purpose of their "heaven," is exactly that.

Lead me through my memory.
Remind me you were happy.
Murmur symbols on that beach- in a code, now only you can speak.

Keep moving forward.
Pretend, then be.
Stay young, stay foolish.
Thoughts reach toward the sea.
