The Shoreline

Give It Up To Us

The Shoreline


Give it up to us And our calloused energy 
That keeps us on The photographs will tell 
Our timeless story For years to come Oh, 
the centuries that carry 
Our words will say More than we want them to 

These days are all that's left 
All the year's worth secrets kept 
This is our time The shoreline becomes 
Our only excuse To leave ourselves 
And after it all 

We will be reminded of what 
What it means to fall 
We're losing our sight 
From all these Blinding lights 
We'll have to keep Our eyes on the prize 

Because there's too much distraction 
From cameras flashing us back to the coast 
Well, if we keep our focus on 
We might be all right Oh, 
the centuries that carry Our words will say 

More than we want them to 
These days are all that's left 
All the year's worth secrets kept 
This is our time The shoreline becomes 
Our only excuse To leave ourselves 
And after it all We will be reminded of what 

What it means to fall 
We've got our bottles 
Filled with our past mistakes 
And in the throttle We throw it all away 
But all these problems 

They just keep building up and we can't get away 
This is our last chance 

To turn our voice loud 
And make ourselves 
Ourselves heard.
