Long Way Out
Long way out
You’re dead if you swim for shore
Just have to lock it down
No time to be drifting aimlessly around
Wave after wave
Make no mistake
You’re in now so deep there’s no choice left to
Make your stand
Straight like that long light wind
Those calluses on your back
Reminding of days and nights, salt on the skin
it’s no holiday
This voluntary race
But something in the bones that’s pulling you this way
And it’s certainly worth fighting for
Quite possibly worth dying for
To shape the risks we take
