I'm here watching the waves

Just how long can it be

Till that melody strays

Through my mind and I'm cancelled

Can't see no wood for the trees

Can't tell the land from the sky

When you're in up to your knees

Soon find out who your friends are.

Ah for the taste of it sweet

One more time from the top

Thoughts like crumbs in the sheets

Words thrown like coins in a cup

Just one more house in the rain

Just one more spoonful of salt

And now I'm at it again

Banging on like it's my fault.

Everything you are

Everything you are

Everything you are I long to be

Everything you are

Everything you are

Everything you are I long to be.

I gave it all I could give

I took that ghost for my bride

Went day by day trying to live

With my heart on the outside

I watched the shape of it rise

To dance like wind through the wheat

And steal the light from your eyes

In the space of a heartbeat.

And everything fills with distance

Yeah everything.

Everything you are

Everything you are

Everything you are I long to be

Everything you are

Everything you are

Everything you are I long to be

Everything you are

Everything you are

Everything you are I long to be

Everything you are

Everything you are

Everything you are I long to be.

Songs that push through the dirt

Ploughing these roads into fields

Sounding the notes of the words

Till everything fills with distance.
