Social Contract - Shifting Baselines Lyrics

If we're going the same way
Then lord, please, give me a sign
I'm waiting all day
With you, my love
On my mind
Will you still be here, girl
As the light slowly fades
And, I wonder if this is
The very, very last time
Things get strange
Shifting Baselines fallin over again
Makes it hard to maintain
As I grow above you, my friend
I wait around, I wait around
In the warm spring rain
The thoughts and images
Bring me some kind of pain
Is my time in vain
Seems to me like the stream just flows one way
Every plant's roots are dipped in blood
As the body withers away
And the faithful they hope, they pray
That it all comes back someday
While the banks which we carve
Corrode as they flow into their god-given name
Things get strange
Shifting Baselines fallin over again
Makes it hard to maintain
As I grow above you, my friend
I wait around, I wait around
In the warm spring rain
And the thoughts and images
Bring me some kind of pain
Is my time in vain
Seems to me like the stream just flows one way
Our bricks in the mud will rust
As everythings left to decay
And I feel, I feel
Like everythings turning away
