Traveling Downhill At An Uphill Pace

There you were, sleeping sounder than the sea
With a quiet hum to filter the breeze
Lullabies should come easier tonight
But my tongue is tied with ribbons and teeth
Remember when we were scared of who we'd be?
Just an empty plot for sewing our seeds
If time was flat we could travel through its streets
Turning clock towers to shallower seas
Where the sun could bathe and sleep for free

We were free
We'll always be
Things are brighter than they seem
You could be a tide to me

I can feel you in my bloodstream
I can feel you in my blood...
