ON MY HONOR - Waterways lyrics

rate me

I threw you back in the water

Where it seems that you grew legs

Walked out on the other side

Shedding mermaid tales and former lives

Finally without me

I'll wish you well, as you move on

While it seems I'll stay the same

I'm thinking less about the plans we made

Debating taking out the pins

Throwing them away

These choices aren't mine to make

So I'll just be content

With memories of the only New Year's Eve I'll ever spend in my car

For all the summers we spent outside on the lake

I never doubted you were capable to navigate

The only thing that I ask, as you swim away

Please stay in the same waterways

I'll come down from the roof and

Put the ladder away

Apologize for any plans of yours that I delayed

Put away for good

Photos I've hung and hung again

Denied display

Given the context they were taken in

Into albums

To revisit again

Maintaining ties

There are more to be taken

For all the summers we spent outside on the lake

I never doubted you were capable to navigate

The only thing that I ask, as you swim away

Please stay in the same waterways

Please set aside

Spots for me in your life

Like year book pages we

Kept sacred in 2005

When you drive at night

Wherever you do

Listening to the Get Up Kids

Think of me when you hear "Overdue"

I know I shouldn't drive

But don't come pick me up

This was more about attention

And they've called me inside once

I can sleep here on the floor

Where we know that I am safe

Let me say again,

I'm sorry that I called so late

The only thing I ask

Since I can't ask you to stay

Please stay in the same
