From the other shore I saw you jump in
The water peeling back, gently guiding you to course
The rocks couldn't bring themselves to hurt you
Their edges turned to silt
Nothing can do you harm
Nothing can do you harm
Nothing can do you harm
Your form was just a shadow on the water
Open for interpretation to the crosswinds, to the polar shifts, to the global economy
Markets rise and fall with your every breath
But you and I we remain constant

Or at least I'd like to think we do
On the opposite side of some great divide
That I can't cross

Have faith, faith in your birthright
Have faith, faith that all currents will bend to you
Have faith, faith in your birthright
Have faith, faith that all currents will bend to you

I could follow you in, fight my way through the chop
Cross bladed stone hoping that your arms would be there waiting for me
I know they won't

Have faith, faith in your birthright
Have faith, faith that all currents will bend to you
Have faith, faith in your birthright
Have faith, faith that all currents will bend to you

We could grab each other sink down to the bottom
Buy enough air to never resurface again
Carve our shape into the river floor
So that erosion could someday recall us fondly

From the other shore I glare at you
Watch the purchased arc of your dive
You will never feel my nails dig into your throat
This anger, this jealousy, this ashamed love

Keep my hands at my side
Try to look away
