lyrics

Bare toes treading carefully down
A little path of rocks
Dim flashlight leads us around to the dock
At way past midnight
And it hard to see
But it's easy to breathe
We fill our lungs with wild tranquility

We're just a little boat in the middle of the bay
While everyone's asleep
An open sky and it's getting hard to keep
Myself from gasping
'Cause now it's easy to see
And so it's hard to breathe
'Cause our lungs are held 'cause it's so astonishing

'Cause there's no moon
But there's oh, so many stars
Who knew
There could be so many stars?
Do you
Know just how fortunate we are?
Who knew
A night like this could exist, let alone be ours?

It's hard to think this was just another
Ordinary day
'Cause now I see you in extraordinary light and there's nothing to say
but "holy wow"
How lucky can I be?
And I don't wanna breathe
For fear of blowing away this
Surreal serenity

And then laughing
All our clothes are tossed away
And then gasping
We just leap into the bay
An insignificant two
Astounded and frozen outside time
Who knew
In such a grand expanse there was even a chance that you'd be mine?

And who knew
That water could be so warm?
And who knew
That I would find a home
In you?
Yet here we are and we've only just begun
Well who knew?
In a world where there's so much wrong
We've somehow found a bit of perfection
