lyrics

you are the river, I am the swimmer
always splitting two good things apart
hands between water, water between the land
they'll both come back together in the end

and I am aware that while we're out there
crawling through the mountain's great divide
that we will have to be still
and put our lives on hold for the night

but I've stopped looking in your direction
so I don't have to watch you change
but there's something to seeing happen
that makes it seem as though it's okay

to be a part of it all
to feel apart from it all
to be a part of it all
to feel part from it all

someday in a while I'll look back and smile
cause I'll feel that it's always been good
and I hope that when you look back
you will feel that it's always been good

to be a part of it all
to feel apart from it all
to be a part of it all
to feel apart from it all
