lyrics

Place your hand in mine
It need not hold so tight
Be careful
For in it's terrible lines
It holds the future
Of our lives

And it's cracks run deep
They have run rivers before
Do you remember
When they carved out
Their sorrow
From watching you go home

But I have squeezed those rivers dry
Until just the beds remain
Where I can't sleep
For this fear of mine
That these lines are not in line
With yours

So when our palms meet
It feels like symmetry

So we make all the brooks unite
Til our hands hold the ocean
With species undiscovered
Asleep beneath the surface
And tonight seemed to be
The parting of the red seas
And we were just two waves of water
Desperate to become one

But parted seas can be so rough
With wrecking boats
And drowning souls
And I feel this life
Is hard enough
Without being without
Your other half

And I realise that quite shortly
We'll be wish-washing shores together again
But until then I'll be waiting
For the feeling of your fingers in mine
As they intertwine

When our palms meet
It feels like symmetry
Oh

But parted seas can be so rough
With wrecking boats
And drowning souls
And I feel this life
Is hard enough
Without being without
Your other half
