lyrics

There’s a girl in this photo with her
Dad over her shoulder who
dies two weeks later
A stupid mistake learned a
second too late that turns her
God into a traitor
They teach her Job in school but it
doesn’t help figure out a
mom who’s lost in grieving
Growing up overnight you make your
own wrong and right and hope not
all of you is leaving
For the water and the wind
You end up where you begin
And you take a breath and breathe it out again
One day you looked at me and
saw something that I could
not see in myself
And I wrote a song about you
instead of realizing
how much you needed help
And I should have done more but
I was too busy looking
for my own savior
You deserved much better but you
had to settle for
me and my behavior
For the water and the wind
You end up where you begin
And you take a breath and breathe it out again
And all you tried to do was repair
The space filled with smog trapped in the air
Ghosts may fade, but they’re
always replaced with
monsters of your own
Circumstance and
random chance
clipped your wings before you’d flown
Time moves on and
seasons change and
they don’t make amends
You go down to the docks and say
hello and goodbye to his memory again
For the water and the wind
You end up where you begin
And you take a breath and breathe it out again
