Star-crossed lovers find one another, swipe left or right
She put it on good faith and took her cues from the sky
Looking for something that's face value or as advertised
Now is that settling down, or settling, she's yet to decide
Born into the heat and surrounded by the sea
Thought the wind would land her on some big cities' concrete
She grew into herself, and outgrew those dreams
She could tell you all the reasons, but not sure what they'd mean
Thirty odd years in, he still thought the world'd be concerned
It had him surrounded by the time he came to terms
Too bruised for fighting, I guess that's the peace the years earned
That shadow is still beside him despite the rounded it endured
Remember when the ground fell out and you thought you didn't loose a step
Still finding out all the ways how, if I was honest, I guess
Remember when you swore it off, had to close back up your chest,
If past remains prologue, I'll be hedging my bets
Just as it seems, just as it's been, and so on, and so on
Same as it goes, it's returning, an ending, beginning
Who else is starting over, a little colder, digging for roots
Barely a year since he's gone, you turned a page, I burned the book
Can't trust the bridges traveled on, they'll be forever out of use
But everything that is still around feels forever entombed
When I get to playing, to let it out, to let it in
To whomever I'm praying, I am speaking on a friend
I wish I could stay with you, there was something more to understand
Might as well be reading fortunes from the lines in your hand
Time leaves the notion, that devotion is a simple truth
And if the dust ever settles back down it will lay there, in an outline of you
I used to fight for a sense of faith, seems since,I am fighting to refute
The world isn't just a balled up fist and to love isn't just to lose
Just as it seems, just as it's been, and so on, and so on
Same as it goes, it's returning, an ending, beginning
