lyrics

Meet me in shallow waters
Leave behind your empty flask
Come on and bask with me on the rocks of the fallen
Together we'll dry out like kelp

Kick off your worn down sandals
They've seen miles of dust and soot
Here take this cup and quench your thirst
Feel the ground quaking
'neath the ball of your foot

We're only human, only human
We're only one step from the edge
We're all mistaken, all forgotten
But here together, we can be American Gothic
Put pen to paper, we can be The Birth of Venus
For now and for always

That night in outer space
The world was mine and you were fair
My hopes were high, your song rang low
Nothing phased me,
To grab the dreams from mid-air

We're only human, only human
We're only one step from the edge
We're all mistaken, all forgotten
But here together, we can be American Gothic
Put pen to paper, we can be The Birth of Venus
For now and for always

Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh

We're only human, only human
We're only one step from the edge
We're all mistaken, all forgotten
But here together, we can be American Gothic
Put pen to paper, we can be The Birth of Venus
For now and for always
