Back on Land

Back on Land 04:12
**V1** Out across the water You chose to live alone Keep yourself busy You can’t be caught by phone Your mind entertains you No friends to ever leave Waves crash around you No time to feel lonely **CHORUS** For who are you trying to be human? Abandoned our state of affairs The one thing we could agree on Our wreck wouldn’t grace the sand But I heard you’re back on land **V2** When you were out there I knew we couldn’t touch I’d walk to the coastline Dream of what once was Now I could run into A present from my past A future I mourned Acted out with someone else **CHORUS** For who are you trying to be human? Abandoned our state of affairs The one thing we could agree on Our wreck wouldn’t grace the sand But I heard you’re back on land **CHORUS (x2)** For who are you trying to be human? Abandoned our state of affairs The one thing we could agree on Our wreck wouldn’t grace the sand But I heard you’re back on land

about

**V1**
Out across the water
You chose to live alone
Keep yourself busy
You can’t be caught by phone
Your mind entertains you
No friends to ever leave
Waves crash around you
No time to feel lonely

**CHORUS**
For who are you trying to be human?
Abandoned our state of affairs
The one thing we could agree on
Our wreck wouldn’t grace the sand
But I heard you’re back on land

**V2**
When you were out there
I knew we couldn’t touch
I’d walk to the coastline
Dream of what once was
Now I could run into
A present from my past
A future I mourned
Acted out with someone else

**CHORUS**
For who are you trying to be human?
Abandoned our state of affairs
The one thing we could agree on
Our wreck wouldn’t grace the sand
But I heard you’re back on land

**CHORUS (x2)**
For who are you trying to be human?
Abandoned our state of affairs
The one thing we could agree on
Our wreck wouldn’t grace the sand
But I heard you’re back on land
