“It’s sort of about being born in the wrong time – about feeling more spiritual than our modern rational digital reality encourages. And about going out searching for a deep sweetness that’s always just out of reach.
It was almost definitely influenced by my life on the road, and so I made a video...
Pilgrims Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If this was another time
You'd've been one of the holy kind
Clasping hands and talking soft to the night
Rising up a pilgrim on the road
Begging bread for your bowl
Waking from this dream you're in now
Where you just scroll and scroll
[Chorus 1]
Just give me patience, just give me strength
Just let me taste that sweetness again
I know it's waiting, I feel it just around the bend
Just give me patience, I'll get to it yet
[Verse 2]
If this was another time
I'd be coughing in the mine
But here we are now getting on a plane
And feeling bored in the sky
As wildfires take the west
You put the eye mask on your eyes
Was there some summer in my youth
Before I knew what was dying?
[Bridge]
You're always leaving
Running out of time
You're always leaving
Yeah, running out of time
You're always leaving
Yeah, but you never arrive
[Chorus]
Just give me patience, just give me strength
Just let me taste that sweetness again
It's out there waiting, and I can see it if I squint
Just give me patience, I'll get to it yet
[Post-Chorus]
Just give me patience, just give me strength
Just let me taste that sweetness again
Sweetness again
Sweetness again
