I don't know how to hold the ocean
I can't fold or control this weight
Are we just birds
At the point of no return
Are we bound to fail
And forced to learn
Sittin' by the side of life
Wishin' I could rewrite
Pushin' my words to survive
But I wonder if I had the time
I could find what it's like to let it all just slide by
Runaway to the sea where the feeling of me
Can escape this twilight mind ride
Sittin' by the side of life
I don't seek the weakest season
What I need is reason to dream
Are we just beasts
Beggin' for release
From the burden
Of our seeds
Sittin' by the side of life
Wishin' I could rewrite
Pushin' my words to survive
But I wonder if I had the time
I could find what it's like to let it all just slide by
Runaway to the sea where the feeling of me
Can escape this twilight mind ride
Sittin' by the side of life
Sittin' by, by, by
Sittin' by the side of life
Sittin' by, by, by
Sittin' by the side of life
And now I've found the moment where I'm bound
So that ocean's still around
Sittin' by the side of life
Wishin' I could rewrite
Pushin' my words to survive
In the fire I'm diving
Into waters rising higher
In the time of the flood I must
Be calm and listen for the choir
Sittin' by the side of life
