Driftwood and Sinking Stones
We're in a rush to grow old,
And then we try to stay young
We think we wrote the book
Before our song is even sung
We try and lick our wounds
Before they even start to sting
Clutch today and memories,
Who knows what tomorrow brings
Cuz this is life,
And life alone
Sometimes we are the driftwood,
Sometimes we're sinking stones
And if you're getting tired
Of always being alone
Just stay on the path
And it'll take you to your home,
Home,
Home
Home,
Home,
Home
They say the first cut is the deepest,
Then it leaves a scar
Some people spend their days
Trying to get as far
As they can from their past,
But it steady chases still
Distracted by the rearview
The road always is uphill
Cuz this is life,
And life alone
Sometimes we are the driftwood,
Sometimes we're sinking stones
And if you're getting tired
Of growing so old
Just stay on the path
And it'll take you to your home,
Home,
Home
Home,
Home,
Home
Skipping stones on seafoam,
And searching for sea stars
The tide is high,
And so am I,
Let's forget where we are
On an earth
With rust and bones,
We come and go,
But not alone
Hand in hand,
Sit still then roam,
Back to the start,
Back to the start
Back to the start
Cuz this is life,
And life alone
Sometimes we are the driftwood,
Sometimes we're sinking stones
And if you're getting tired
Of always being alone
Just stay on the path
And it'll take you to your
This is life, and life alone
Sometimes we are the driftwood,
Sometimes we're sinking stones
And if you're getting tired
Of growing so old
Just stay on the path
And it'll take you to your home,
Home,
Home
Home,
Home,
Home
Skipping stones on seafoam,
And searching for sea stars
The tide is high,
And so am I,
Let's forget where we are
On an earth
With rust and bones,
We come and go,
But not alone
Hand in hand,
Sit still then roam,
Back to the start,
Back to the start
Back to the start
And then we try to stay young
We think we wrote the book
Before our song is even sung
We try and lick our wounds
Before they even start to sting
Clutch today and memories,
Who knows what tomorrow brings
Cuz this is life,
And life alone
Sometimes we are the driftwood,
Sometimes we're sinking stones
And if you're getting tired
Of always being alone
Just stay on the path
And it'll take you to your home,
Home,
Home
Home,
Home,
Home
They say the first cut is the deepest,
Then it leaves a scar
Some people spend their days
Trying to get as far
As they can from their past,
But it steady chases still
Distracted by the rearview
The road always is uphill
Cuz this is life,
And life alone
Sometimes we are the driftwood,
Sometimes we're sinking stones
And if you're getting tired
Of growing so old
Just stay on the path
And it'll take you to your home,
Home,

Skipping stones on seafoam,
And searching for sea stars
The tide is high,

Sit still then roam,
Back to the start,

Sometimes we are the driftwood,
Sometimes we're sinking stones
And if you're getting tired

Sometimes we're sinking stones
And if you're getting tired

Skipping stones on seafoam,
And searching for sea stars
The tide is high,
And so am I,
Let's forget where we are
On an earth
With rust and bones,
We come and go,
But not alone
Hand in hand,
Sit still then roam,
Back to the start,
Back to the start
Back to the start
