The 22 38 Lyrics

And we take our leave from this violent shore
To retrace our steps and lay down our oars
And we all got high
Yes we all got high
Take our lead from ghosts
We walk side by side

Nothing ever seems to change
We hold nothing back
To stop ourselves from being
Tethered to this world
And we take our leave from this violent shore
To retrace our steps and lay down our oars
And we all got high
Yes we all got high
Take our lead from ghosts
And walk side by side
Yes we all got high
Yes we all get high
And you give me yours
And I hand you mine
You just wait, just wait, just wait
Can we cross the line
Can we cross the line
Can we cross the line
