Cut from a hope, we're cut from the same metal
That blooms its veins in the ground
I have loved you in the body, in the breath, in the eyes
In the air still speaking your sound
[Chorus]
Don't know just where you are
And where you're not now
Don't know just where you are
And where you're not now
To know just where you are
And where you're not now
To know just where you are
And where you're not
