{ open hands }

nobody wants to be the only one that's left standing

nobody wants to be the only one to understand

and now i'm seeing the way that you're leaving without me

now go on and drift away

the tide can hold you out

go quiet now

go sound go safe

open hands are hard to hold onto anyway

people depart, they always depart
the part of being left behind
and looking back is imparted to me
it's not an easy song to play
each day broken a little, cracked open a little
i must be strong to have been made
to live with so much leaving
