about

A song about those moments in life when two opposites are true and wrestling with what that means.

lyrics

We went skinny dipping after your funeral
I was nervous but I knew you’d want me to
Water in my eyes and not a cloud in the sky
I’d forgotten how it felt
To feel alive

There was laughter and disaster holding hands
There was grief asking joy can I have this dance
There was Present asking Future, “do you have any plans?”
There was laughter and disaster holding hands

Crumpled clothes like paragraphs thrown onto the floor
Could’ve sworn we all wrote down a different ending
Held my breath, dipped under, I could hear so much more
You were singing us a song
From the shore

There was laughter and disaster holding hands
There was grief asking joy can I have this dance
There was Present asking Future, “do you have any plans?”
There was laughter and disaster holding hands
