Hiding by the riverside
is a child on a rope swing
Hollow trees and a thousand strings
Made a child on a rope swing
And I am that child on a rope swing
I am that child on a rope swing
Sometimes it seems like I just want this to all float away
So I say goodbye and then I want you, I want you to stay
You told me once that I'd be swallowed by this town
And if keep you there is no way out
Where’s beyond the shallow water?
Where to go, where to wander?
Places far beyond this island but I’ve been here
Get your feet wet or forget how to swim
You told me once that I'd be swallowed by this town
Tied to my rope swinging round and round and
You told me once you thought I would be swallowed by this town
I will see as far as I can go, and make it out on my own
I’m trying to hop the swing, landing on my feet, letting go with my hands
And God, I hope I get back up, god I hope I make it out
