Certainty Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Name on the line, last request
Pull the car over to find some rest
Saying, "I love you"
Need to lie here, need to leave
Living in the debt of make-believe
Saying I owe you
Crooked as a crow gnawing on dawn
Shadow from the grass in the dirt on the lawn
Why do I string you along?
[Chorus]
My certainty is wild, weaving
For you, I am a child, believing
You lay beside me sleeping on a plane
In the future
[Verse 2]
Sit on the phone, watch TV
Romance, action, mystery
Wanted to show you
Sine wave is a particle ride
Bring your light out, then in on the tide
Maybe I love you
Maybe I love you is a river so high
Maybe I love you is a river so low
I love you, still don't know
[Chorus]
My certainty is wild, weaving
For you, I am a child, believing
You lay beside me sleeping on a plane
In the future
[Chorus]
My certainty is wild, weaving
For you, I am a child, believing
You lay beside me sleeping on a plane
In the future
