about

This track is about something or someone that's your life support and gets you through the rough times of your life.
This track is also an homage to the band Keane, whose music continues to be an inspiration.

lyrics

I’m tying down a single thread,
I’m feel I’m waiting for an end,
We’re floating out endlessly,
But carried through by the sea,

And when the water rises you’ll keep me calm,
And when the night strikes you’ll be the dawn I’ve waited for,

I tiny island just for one,
I’m glad that’s not what I’ve become,
And if we are stranded here,
At least we shared our hopes and fears,

And when the storm whips you’ll shelter me,
And when I’ve given up and I’m on my knees,
You’ll give me life,

I’ll follow you,
Wherever we go today,
Through this tarnished town,
Through devils and fear,
I know you’ll be here,
You’re the light,
I hope for when I’ve gone blind,
I’m stumbling through life,
End over end,
You will descend to me,

An endless fog swallows me,
If I told you would you leave?
Once in a while the dirt shows through,
But still you dig it’s what you do,


And when my horses run you’ll ride with me,
And when I’ve locked the door you’ll find the key,
You see right through

I’ll follow you,
Wherever we go today,
Through this tarnished town,
Through devils and fear,
I know you’ll be here,
You’re the light,
I hope for when I’ve gone blind,
I’m stumbling through life,
End over end,
You will descend to me,

So while this storm thrills and kills me dear,

I’ll follow you,
Wherever we go today,
Through this tarnished town,
Through devils and fear,
I know you’ll be here,
You’re the light,
I hope for when I’ve gone blind,
I’m stumbling through life,
End over end,
You will descend to me
