Skipping Stones Songtext

von Mutual Benefit

You are the first thing I see
When I open my eyes when I wake from a dream
You're the light through a rip in the seams

Bursts forth from the night onto dark stars it clings
But with the morning sun we also see
That its shapes appear so gradually
I'm so afraid to feel this way again
But I let you in

Love is the loudest of all sounds
It's the hum in the air, it's the dirt from the ground
You've got a hold over me
Until my world disappears and you're all I see

But in solitude we're often chased
By the truths we are afraid to face
And it takes more than just a fleeting dream
To set us free

Like how we tried to skip a sinking stone
Just to watch how long that it could go
I'm so afraid to fall in love again
I know how it ends

And if I try and skip a sinking stone
Maybe it'll be the one that goes
Forever as it starts its flight
Towards the horizon line
