lyrics

12 years old on a Door County dock
Where the low level bluffs look like full mountain tops
Fanny pack strapped with a newer short swagger
Stumbling like a poet out the troubadour tavern
We was 5 deep, whole family in a line of ducks
Tossing wonder bread to the lake brim, line ‘em up
Sunset looking like it brushed with the midas touch
Dime a dozen view for a man with a pirate’s lust
Concrete feeling like a rickety bridge
I walked a tight rope down the middle of it
Eyes like a lighthouse on my littler sis
Rotate and shine upon on Lake Michigan’s lips
I thought what if something comes along and accidentally bumps her
Something grabs hold and my sister goes under
And I reacted like a scaredy-cat or a coward
While my flesh and blood sinks downward
So I said, please don’t stray, please don’t fall
I see no way, I could save us all
From the undertow or a kraken from the depths
Take my hand and back up off the edge

If I were to stumble off the edge
How would I meet my fate
Would I watch the ground get close
Or the sky fall away

On a cliff at the pacific ocean,
I was high as a kite with some mixed emotions
Staring out into the dip below,
And I saw myself fall like stripped erosion
Tip toed with a hindered motion,
And a lighthouse eye, can’t miss the omens
This the beauty, me the beholder,
Get lost in the glow of the symbiosis
Knock in the knees, sweep the leg,
Don’t trust my balance to greet the edge
Chuck a rock to the bottom and I feel the dread,
Like what if that stone was me instead
Jump back, jump back, stay in the middle
Belly of the yellow, brain of the brittle
Hold still like I’ll wait for the sibyl
To determine if I’ll be the next face of the vigil
And I swear to you, on everything
I’d risk it all, love and limb
To pull you back, to keep you here
And if I slip, to hug the wind
While I fall, I’ll scream and shout
Figure out which way to face
Ground or sky, how will I
Embrace my fate
