lyrics

You're not lost
But you may never be found
You're like water that reaches a rock
You gotta find your way around

The best man with direction
Is the worst with a map
You can be an explorer
With a compass in that pack

There is mystery and mayhem
Just over that hill
I won't tell 'em that you're coming
Just don't make that kill

There is mud to be molded
There is steel to be cast
If you're gonna build a mountain
Be a man who builds to last

There's a riddle in your head
And rye bread in your fridge
If you choose to go to the saints
Give 'em space round your neck

When you come to that season
When your eye's tear up
Just remember that you're breathing
And keep your god damn mouth shut

If someone lets you in
And you feel solid and strong
an addition to what you are
Then my work is done

Just be a may baby
Be whatever that means
Just don't fool yourself
You know what that means
