lyrics

floating under ice
watching the bruised-up sky hover like a monster
slipping out of time
wasting my weathered breath on a cry for help
snow crushing under foot nearby
static turning on an old dial

i've been waiting my whole life
so what difference could this make?

i think of mom and dad
i sink like a stone to the river floor
isn't it mad that everything slips away
on freezing rain in an instant

no more setting sun
no new love to inspire
or mistakes from which to run
snow crushing under foot nearby
static turning on an old dial

i've been waiting my whole life
so what difference could this make?
i've been waiting my whole life
so what difference could this make?

i'll meet you up there
above the canyons and the coast
i'll meet you up there
between the body and the ghost
between the body and the ghost...
