[Verse 1]
There's a sky when you run
And there's a sky when you surrender
You're so warm
The tangle of your thorns
But your hands, they know
It only hurts
When in the hour, you remember you're the child
In the tangle of your mind

[Refrain]
You light up from a whisper tellin' how
I never found the way around myself
I listen now

[Verse 2]
I looked for waking worlds
And no restraint in singin' voices of my friends
A rising with no end
Along the sweep of words
I run my eyes
And see my old skin floatin' gently somewhere far
I wonder who we are

[Pre-Chorus]
A light up from a whisper tellin' how
I never knew the captain's skill, but oh
I wonder now
[Chorus]
Slowly rivers turn
When love is out
Slowly rivers turn
A light up from a whisper tellin' how
I never found my way down to the shore
I listen now

[Bridge]
And I don't wanna be the yeller of my longings
I don't wanna be the sailor of my past
And I don't wanna be the band that plays the wedding
With a new leaving song on their mind
I gotta try

[Chorus]
Slowly rivers turn
When love is out
Slowly rivers turn
A light up from a whisper tellin' how
I never knew the captain's skill, but oh
I get it now

[Outro]
You light up from a whisper tellin' how
I never found a way around myself
