Baptisms

Back when I used to wander

I was always out looking for signs

But they were never there

So I'd pull 'em from the air

We all believed in something

But like you, I can't say why

It's just a whisper in our ear

Or a bottle for our fears

Hold me to the light, let me shine

Come hold me to the floor and say, it's alright

Come hold me 'neath the water's skin until I'm new again

And I said what I was thinking

Now you can't see what's good till it's gone

Then there's something to be said

For a place to lay your head

You told me I was simple

And you injured me with that piece of mind

And I listened to the creek

And it did much more for me

I'll hold you to the light, let you shine

I'll hold you against the floor and say, it's alright

'Cause down beneath the water's skin where we will swim

There's diamonds on the surface then

And they'll come clean us, we'll both live again

These days I barely wander

And I don't need no more of them signs

I'll just breathe in all that air

And be happy that it's there
