I know the reason you were sad for that whole season and I I can't hold an ounce of blame You told the story of the riches and the glory you saw Hidden behind the savior's name I felt the spirit, I thought I was getting near it when it Pulled the breath right from my lungs So maybe later we can do ourselves a favor, well the The river's ripe, we'll dive right in So come on now, shout it out It'll never be this good again Just close your eyes on this long car ride We could be anywhere at all We passed the mission and we had to ask the question is this A once in a lifetime kind of thing Everything was new now, I had let go feeling blue somehow and All my blood had turned from black to red The highway's a ribbon, it's a gift that we are given and well Who are we to argue that right now? I felt our last time, it was resting there on my mind like a Cool drink of water in a drought So come on now, shout it out It'll never be this good again Just close your eyes on this long car ride We could be anywhere at all Just close your eyes on this long car ride We don't need anything at all I know the reason you were sad for that whole season and I I can't hold an ounce of blame

Like a light through the window Was the hair on her head But the sea cast a shadow As the men claimed her bed Flash of steel silver Buried in your mind Lungs fill with water The witch will reveal her true sign What possession could this be? Bodies sink like a stone And the blood forms a selkie Diving down far below Fear like a serpent Buried in your mind She will awake it The witch will behold what you hide All you men with your cravings See the fate that awaits Your soft heads are for striking And make a home for her blade She knows the secret Buried in your mind Who else could take it The witch is the last of her kind
