bryyn - walk on water

You can't break it off 
Before it's on
You can't let it go
Before you hold on
You can't blow it out 
Before it's on
You can't cut a cake
Before it's done
You can't make it out
Before you're in
You can't find the lord
Before you've sinned
You can't cut it short 
Before it's long
You can't find the end
Before you begin

Can't you see 
We're walking on water
Well you know it's not the middle of the winter
Can't you feel 
Were losing track of starting
Staring off at the salty sea waves
Looking around 
at the black swelling ocean
sinking down 
with a pale blue face
at the bottom of the ocean
is a lonely place

you can't get to heaven 
by being good
you don't give to others 
by loving yourself
you can't find answers
before you ask questions
you can't love somebody
before you love yourself
you can't see beauty
before you feel pain
you can't make your truth 
for everyone
you can't talk to others
before you think and listen
you can't make friends
by making war
