“Skipping Stones” (acoustic demo)

In the past I let things slip by

Always letting sleeping dogs lie

I don’t think I can take your skipping stones

Floating to the bottom to their new home

Nowadays I  know why

I can’t help but enjoy watching them sigh

I don’t think I can take your skipping stones

Floating to the bottom to their new home

And that heart that rivals the ocean

Ruins the placidness with emotion

I don’t think I can take your skipping stones

Floating to the bottom to their new home

Soon a wave turns into fire

Backed by the air and untamed desire

I don’t think I can take your skipping stones

Floating to the bottom to their new home

Sooner or later we all have to stick our fingers in the earth

Marvel at the wonders that come from the dirt

I don’t think I can take your skipping stones

Floating to the bottom to their new home

They all pile up and I carry them in my head

I keep replaying what you said

I don’t think I can take your skipping stones

Floating to the bottom to their new home
