Between Tides - DIIV

On and on, the clock was wrong

«You've been numb so long»

His words they lapped an endless rote

«It's gonna rain, build a boat»

On masterstrokes of ebb and flow

Down the drain the current flows

All along the alpenglow

It seems my pain was self-imposed

I’m just waiting for the storm to die out

I’m just waiting for the storm to die

On and on, in memory

You’ll have my company

Mountainbuilding, anodynes

Both in handfuls at a time

I asked the trees why they grow

They said it’s all we know

I apologize to all I see

For everything I used to be

On and on, the clock was slow

Down the drain, we surely know

How to drink the oceans up?

«Better start with a cup»

I’m just waiting for the storm to die out

I’m just waiting for the storm to die
