On My Honor - Waterways lyrics

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 Waterways
