Setting Forth Lyrics by Glen Hansard

Between Two Shores

2017

[Verse 1]
Darling, there's no good time
To bring this up
We've got so much riding
On this love

[Verse 2]
Girl, there's been a distance
And your words are so unclear
And these lies and your resistance
They gotta disappear

[Chorus 1]
Well I'm setting forth
With my instinct
I'm setting forth
With my doubts
I'm letting go
Of us completely
Yeah, I'm getting out

[Verse 3]
And I don't know where all of this is gonna leave us
But it's time we both found out
Darling, it's been a lifetime
We've been turning the other way
Surely this is the right time
To wind down the shadow play

[Verse 4]
Let's not let fortune find us
With shackles on our hands
I'd rather leave it all behind us
I wonder if we can?

[Chorus 2]
Well I'm setting forth
With my instinct
I'm setting forth
With my doubts
I'm letting go
Of everything
That tries to stop me now

[Bridge]
And I don't know where fortune is gonna find us
But its time for finding out
Woooooooooooooooooooh
Wooooooooo-oooooooh

[Chorus 3]
Cause I'm setting forth
With my instinct
I'm setting forth
With my doubts
I'm letting go
Of you completely
Yeah, I'm setting out

[Outro]
And I don't know where all of this is gonna leave us
But it's time we both found out
And I don't know where fortune is gonna find us
It's not for me to know right now
And I don't know where time is gonna take us
But I can't let that stop me now
I can't let that stop me now
