lyrics

Landslide rolling over one twenty-three.
Outside a picture perfect pristine.
In-between there’s a space you can’t keep.
Safe from lows, a place you’ll never know,
But wish you did.

Stranger, let’s split the distance
From harbors unwelcome and desolate.
Send us off and hope we don’t get lost
Between the dulls and pits,
The moments you have missed mending your hull.

Too blind to see through the clouds.
Another tidal wave but you ignore the sound.

(CHORUS)
Sailing off, you’re off, to hide that albatross.
Sailing off, you’re off, to hide that albatross.
If you didn’t have to then you didn’t have to.
If I didn’t have to I’d never ask you.

(Bridge)
And did you find what you were looking for?
Catching you off balance and falling overboard.
Come up for air just to fall in, now you’re falling all the time.
I’ll never understand what you were looking for.
Come up for air just to fall in, now we’re falling all the time.

Come back to life and mend your hull.
Come back to life and leave behind the lows.

(CHORUS)
Sailing off, you’re off, to fight that albatross.
Sailing off, you’re off, to fight that albatross.
You didn’t have to if you didn’t have to.
If I didn’t have to I’d never tell you.

Come back to life and mend your hull.
Come back to life and leave behind the lows.

about

Greet the Sea image

Greet the Sea Seattle, Washington

Seattle native band, Greet the Sea, emerged in late 2015 as the culmination of sonic expression between four friends. Blending sweeping soundscapes, drum-heavy grooves, anthemic crescendos, and grounded melodic vocals the quartet’s sound is akin to their region of rainy weather, lush earthy colors, and foggy coastal highways. ... more
