​shores

[Intro: Mantra]
Yeah

[Verse 1: Mantra]
Knew I had to treat my heart with a certain respect, move circumspect
From all the hurtin’ I had come to expect
Yet all the spectres I expected to see, on further inspection
Were never there, the symptoms of a pessimistic head
Testin’ us, tryna measure what we meant
‘Til eventually the burden of its pressure was immеnse
I was treadin’ carefully, sеcond guessin’ every step
Evidently unaware of the treasure in your chest
That beautiful musical medial heartbeat kept
If I’d a seen it sooner I’d a said it right there and then, love
Whatever I had I woulda risked it for love
‘Cause if anythin’ was ever worth the risk, it was love
Foolish folly it was floatin’ on the tip of my tongue
Didn’t trust myself with it until it was done
Now I sit at home, thinkin’ of you alone
Wishin’ I took that risk and coulda let you know

[Chorus: Chevalier]
Waters were so deep
Now the shores are at our feet
If we test the water
Will we jump in or keep the border
In between us?
The shore between us

[Verse 2: Chevalier]
Oh-oh-oh
I’ve been down this road before
I’ve been burdened and I swore
I wouldn’t take no risks no more
‘Cause the cost is always greater
And the mess ain’t worth the cleanup
But the grass is always greener
Oh my pessimistic views
Take control of me
Oh, I wish that I could see
There is beauty [?]
[?]
Yeah, my comfortability
Is just to see beneath
What if we jump in? Ooh
Why don’t we jump in?

[Chorus: Chevalier]
Hey
Waters were so deep
Now the shores are at our feet
If we test the water
Will we jump in or keep the border
In between us?
The shore between us

[Bridge: Chevalier]
If you’re ready
Take my hand and count to three, jump in with me
There’s no telling if its
Right or wrong, then take the plunge with me
If you’re ready
Take my hand and count to three, jump in with me
There’s no telling if its
Right or wrong, then take the plunge with me

[Verse 3: Mantra, Chevalier]
Yeah
Oh-oh
I can almost shout from my island to yours (Ay)
As tides conspire to unite our shores (Yeah)
From the highest peak of the ocean (Oh)
To its floors, I am yours, I am scared
I am broken, I am flawed
I am paired with the omens of my flaws
Though as those most dynamic, titanic break at our feet
And the giants of our two tides meet
Our boats are not moored, and future is not assured
Do we drop an anchor between us or watch it all wash ashore?
All we know is that only love can stop the war
That’s a risk I guess we gotta take if we want it all
