lyrics

Can we swim if we are stumbling?
Meet me out there in the road
Walk in line until we hit the bay
Then leave us to our own.

And we can be all that we want to
We can be a paper or a stone
We can keep living on eroding escarpments
Until the blinds are drawn

Celebrate the miles behind you
Dedication made us whole
Maybe patience never let you win
But it's taught me all I know.

And we can be all that we want to
We can be a paper or a stone
We can keep living off of caffeine and nicotine
Until the blinds are drawn
And you can take all that you want now
Just leave me the wind and the rain
Believe me, out here, in this city on hold
Maybe there'll be something more to say at the end of the day.

I have stood there in the long grass
Listening to the river's choir
Singing "there's a city beneath the city
And beneath our skin there's a fire"

And we can be all that we want now
We can be a paper or stone
We can keep living off smoke-stacked-skyways
Until the blinds are drawn
And you can take all that you want now
Just leave me the wind and the rain
Believe me, out here, in this city on hold
Maybe there'll be something more to say at the end of the day.
