we swim sideways 

but have we come to this 

all we ever had 

we lost back there 

but i can't even tell just how far it is 

or how long the drive 

into this world it's all but recompense 

all we have is saving grace 

gone away mandate never the same 

we've made this raft subside 

so we're forced to wade from side to side 

i know your love is deep and wide
