Floating Away

Floating away like love letters taken by a flood

When he sent the rain to wash away the city

We were building on the garden of an angry god

You used to say that discovering me was like a drug

Every day a little more to keep you hanging on

You never thought you'd run out of stuff I'm letting go, now I become water

I hope we end up in the same sea

But it's not up to me

We want to believe that there is a reason

To each thing, a season

Sunshine and rain

Love, death, and pain

And now you wanna plant flowers

And read your book of hours

You wanna walk around with Jesus

Like it isn't some disease that you've been born into

I saw the fracture lines

In the plaster on the bedroom wall

Like the branches of the family

To embrace me or to hang me

How could I ever hope to mend them all

And now you wanna plant flowers

I'm letting go, now I become water

I hope we end up in the same sea

But it's not up to me alone

We want to believe there is a reason

To each thing, a season

Sunshine and rain

Love, death, and pain

Floating away
