"Heartlines" Lyrics

Oh the river, oh the river, it's running free.
And oh the joy, oh the joy it brings to me.
But I know it'll have to drown me,
Before it can breathe easy.
And I've seen it in the flights of birds,
I've seen it in you.
In the entrails of the animals,
The blood running through.
But in order to get to the heart,
I think sometimes I have to cut through.
But you can, keep it up
I know you can

Just keep following!
The heartlines on your hand!
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your hand!
Keep it up!
I know you can!
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your hand!
'Cause I am,

I'm not a sea, you're not a sea and land over land.
Creeping and a-crawling like the sea over sand.
Still I follow heartlines on your hand.
And this fantasy, this fallacy, this tumbling stone.
Echoes of a city that's long overgrown.
Your heart is the only place that I call home,
How can I be returned.
You can,
You can,
I know you can,

Just keep following!
The heartlines on your hand!
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your hand!
Keep it up!
I know you can!
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your hand!

What a thing to do,
Oooh
What a thing to choose,
But know, in some way I'm there with you.
Up against the wall on a Wednesday afternoon.

Just keep following!
The heartlines on your hand!
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your hand!
Keep it up!
I know you can!
Just keep following!
The heartlines on your hand!
'Cause I am.
