[Verse 1]
Rest like you belong here
With your damp hair
With your chest heaving
Soar out over the long land
With your cold hands
To watch the plains receding
[Pre-Chorus]
Waves up off of the pavement
Will carry you in
It's like your sweat is cleaning
You swallowed the sinew
My body passed through
Before I began breathing
[Chorus]
When the night falls and the light dawns
Off each other's bodies, now you see
When the land falls and the tide crawls
Off each other's bodies, you're in me
[Verse 2]
Drawn out like the Laurentiens
Out through the window
Color the grace in our age
Peer down into the craters
Under the lost lakes
Where clarity is buried
[Pre-Chorus]
Waves up off of the pavement
Will carry you in
It's like your sweat is cleaning
You swallowed the sinew
My body passed through
Before I began breathing
[Chorus]
When the night falls and the light dawns
Off each other's bodies, now you see
When the land falls and the tide crawls
Off each other's bodies, you're in me
[Post-Chorus]
Now you see
How you're in me
In me
Now you see
How you're in me
In me
[Outro]
Waves up off of the pavement
Will carry you in
It's like your sweat is cleaning
You swallowed the sinew
My body passed through
Before I began breathing
