[Intro]

[Verse 1]
C F
I can't say if it was devotion
G F
I just wanted to feel the sun on my skin
C F
I brought myself to the edge of the water
G F
Crossed the river to remember who I am
 
[Instrumental]
Am7 | Am7 | Em7 | Em7 |
Dm7 | Dm7 | Cmaj7 | Cmaj7 |
 
[Verse 2]
C F
We draw the lines of protection
G F
When our palms meet at every edge
C F
You lit my joint with the end of your cigarette
G F
Spun the pavement's spirit, harnessed into flesh
 
[Verse 3]
C F
At a wavelength, I dawned in empty rooms
G F
Desire, laughter, blood, ache, abandon
C F
Are we gonna bring this to fruition
G F
The tattoo you gave me, lying in bed
 
[Bridge]
Am7 Em7
Watched the light turning gold
Dm7
Our limbs are sick, winter shadow
Cmaj7
You are the family that I chose
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
C F
One day the skin that holds me will be dust
G F
And I'll be ready to travel again
C F
For now, I want to go further in
G F
Into moment, into vision, and into you
 
[Verse 5]
C F
I swore I'd show myself so I could renew
G F
That's not the same as being new forever
C F
The shape of your hand left in the dust of Summer Glass
G F
I want to be whole enough to risk again
