Waterways Lyrics - On My Honor

I threw you back in the water 

Where it seems that you grew legs 

Walked out on the other side 

Shedding mermaid tales and former lives 

Finally without me 

I'll wish you well, as you move on 

While it seems I'll stay the same 

I'm thinking less about the plans we made 

Debating taking out the pins 

Throwing them away 

These choices aren't mine to make 

So I'll just be content 

With memories of the only New Year's Eve I'll ever spend in my car 

For all the summers we spent outside on the lake 

I never doubted you were capable to navigate 

The only thing that I ask, as you swim away 

Please stay in the same waterways 

I'll come down from the roof and 

Put the ladder away 

Apologize for any plans of yours that I delayed 

Put away for good 

Photos I've hung and hung again 

Denied display 

Given the context they were taken in 

Into albums 

To revisit again 

Maintaining ties 

There are more to be taken 

For all the summers we spent outside on the lake 

I never doubted you were capable to navigate 

The only thing that I ask, as you swim away 

Please stay in the same waterways 

Please set aside 

Spots for me in your life 

Like year book pages we 

Kept sacred in 2005 

When you drive at night 

Wherever you do 

Listening to the Get Up Kids 

Think of me when you hear "Overdue" 

I know I shouldn't drive 

But don't come pick me up 

This was more about attention 

And they've called me inside once 

I can sleep here on the floor 

Where we know that I am safe 

Let me say again, 

I'm sorry that I called so late 

The only thing I ask 

Since I can't ask you to stay 

Please stay in the same
