about

A song by James Tristan Redding, as originally released on the album "I Hate You. You Always Do This." (2005)

lyrics

Learned how to swim in the shallows
Dived off the dock from the gallows
Taste like a dream, so elusive
Earn your respect, so abusive

Would you put your arms around me?
Would you pick me up and ground me -
Will you breathe some life between these lips
And tell me it's alright?
I'm on my last concession
Coming up from so much compression
And I've just got one more question
Will you tell me it's alright?..

If I drown, if I sink, fail to rise (oh, Sarah)
If the wind beneath my wings slowly dies (oh, Sarah)
Would you tell me it's alright?

Drunk on a glance from a shadow
Pray, beg a smile to remember
Smoke from the stream, autumn embers
Drift to the depths...let it burn
