lyrics
we were travelers in a storybook
I found the lost boys living and I took a second look
at the world through this lens, in the company of friends
and I knew at once this is where the story ends
yeah I knew at once this is where it ends
and where it begins
meters felt like miles in the sunshine on the beach
and our brother was a whale though he was safely out of reach
of the crescent crashing back like the sense of life in me
and I knew at once that now is the only time to be
yeah I knew at once that your faith in the future won't set you free
with seashells in our hair and sunlight woven through
everything we saw was lovely, everything we said was true
in the absence of rules it feels okay to just be you
in the absence of shame people's hearts will lead them through
shameless, blameless, we're babies after all
but we started pointing fingers, ate the fruit, took our fall
God is dead, and his head his mounted on the wall
so we must forgive each other for him
we're all babies after all
