lyrics

That night we crashed a wedding out in Westport we were living lighter; we were walking on water
I saw a side of you that I’ve never seen, I wish you could’ve caught her
If only that moment lingered longer

I don’t mind just getting by as long as I’m getting high

We grind down our teeth with expectations of future selves
Pressure builds from those who occupy the pictures on our shelves
No one can guarantee their tomorrow, so we might as well bask in the afterglow
Those versions of ourselves still await us

I don't mind just getting by as long as I'm getting high

We laid in the park to end the season
The stars told us stories and we, yeah we lost track of time
I could’ve sworn that I was dreaming
Molecules became untethered
Our ceiling was the sky

There was more to our lungs than merely breathing
More to our limbs than reaching- it’s ladders that they climbed
There was more to our hearts than simply beating
They became our compasses and
Our ceiling was the sky

We hiked through the woods hunting completion
Debated over lefts we’ve taken but sometimes ‘left is right’
We turned over stones in search of meaning
Found our way at elevation
Our ceiling was the sky

Some moments will become memories and
Dreams so vivid we relive them- I always press rewind
To ripping safety nets that we were weaved in
We took a chance on a feeling
Our ceiling was the sky

I don’t mind just getting by as long as I’m getting high
