lyrics

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
