Pickering Pick Believers lyrics

There is a sound just like an island being born
You can hear the ocean parting like a curtain being torn
I've seen the people watching for the first sign of the dawn
But you know that you believe us ‘cause their prayin'

There was a time when we felt nothing could be wrong
When the river wasn't flooding and the current wasn't strong
Like the way we measure motions like the rhythm of a song
And the thoughts inside your head are things worth saying

If you could only steal a moment from your life
Would you go out like a comet in the end?
And I am only wishing memories would survive
And wishing isn't something I should spend
My time on

There was a place where I was never on my own

And the ocean just reminds me of the people I have known
The secrets that I kept were just the love that I have shown
But loving isn't something that comes easy

You know you cannot fall, but still you wish to stay
And you're holding on to something that will save you from the day
It's just an echo of the things you try to say
Saying them was almost like believing

If I could only steal a moment from your life
Would you tell the truth or would you just pretend
Or am I only wishing memories would survive
When wishing isn't something I should spend
My time on
