Castaway Lyrics by Ember Swift

Mid-March Meltdown

0

I am a shore
People wash up on me
Like you
Desperate and thirsty

Take in your tongue
I’ll give you some
Kindness has chiseled creases
Into my smile

But wait your turn
You’ll never steady me
I know that now
Cuz I am a trunk of a jealous tree
Looking at the birds
Lustfully

You are a castaway
And I’ve been cast away
Who’s gonna ask the way to our hearts?
You are a castaway
And I’ve been cast away
Who’s gonna ask the way to our hearts?

I am that tree
People carve their names in me
Good thing
I don’t scar easy

Birds walk their tiny feet
Across my bark
And leave their marks like brands
Not one feather understands

But wait your turn
You’ll never steady me
I know that now

Cuz you are a castaway…

I am a shore, I am a jealous tree
But that don’t mean you can wash up on or walk all over me
You are a desperate and thirsty drowning bird
Heavy with wings that think they’re free

But wait your turn
You’ll never steady me
I know that now
You’ll never steady me

Cuz you are a castaway…
