lyrics

We're not on the map, We're slipping sideways
In between the cracks, of what is known
When we're in this place, it's called an island,
we could patch the seams, or let it sink

Don't want to be here alone, I want to take a trip with everyone
…everyone I know

Waterfalls and caves, made by no one
There was balance here , before they came
They will leave us soon, the weather will get better
we will live in trees, and change our names

This is the song of our catch, played by the picture of no-body
…no one at all

We don't need a map, to find an island
If you close your eyes, it starts to float
When you patch the seams, it floats higher
We'll go home soon, and change our names

Don't want to be here alone, I want to take a trip with everyone
…everyone I know
