The second single from their 8th studio album, Castaway, is about longing for connection with the people in our lives who tend to distance themselves when dealing with hardships and how our inability to help them often feels like we’re frozen in time.
[Verse 1]
(Your silence flows through me)
(Cold and quietly like a river)
It gathers at my feet and I begin to freeze
Just stuck in time and this divide, it keeps on growing
(Keeps on growing, keeps on growing)
[Chorus]
Castaway
I'm searching for your signal
For a way to say
"Some days, we all need rescuing"
[Post-Chorus]
(We all need rescuing)
[Verse 2]
The river rises, we look away
The river rises, we look away
It rises past my knees and I begin to freeze
I'm trying to find another light, but I can't see it
(But I can't see it)
[Chorus]
Castaway
I'm searching for your signal
For a way to say
"Some days, we all need rescuing"
Castaway (The river rises)
I'm searching for your signal
For a way to say (The river rises)
"Some days, we all need rescuing"
[Breakdown]
(The river rises)
(The river rises)
The river rises, we look away
The river rises
[Bridge]
Your silence flows through me (The river rises)
But I fear it's too deep
Please say something (Rises)
[Chorus]
Castaway
I'm searching for your signal
For a way to say
"Some days, we all need rescuing"
Castaway (The river rises)
I'm searching for your signal
For a way to say (The river rises)
"Some days, we all need rescuing"
[Outro]
(We all need rescuing)
The river rises
