The water's gonna rise till we finally drown Said the water's gonna rise till we finally drown And all of the ospreys singing Will soon barely even make a sound Built a tower so high, now you'll never get down You built a tower so high, now you'll never get down And when you decide to save us There won't be nobody left around Built a tower so high, now you'll never get down Let our futures fall to tatters Then you ask us what's the matter For the ticking time & the picket signs Won't save us from the fall But it's only forever after all Lost so long, now I'm finally found I've been lost so long, now I'm finally found And living might take a lifetime But it's barely long enough to reach the ground Lost so long, now I'm finally found If your hopes ain't high you'll never get down Said if your hopes ain't high, you'll never get down All of my dreams are skipping stones At the bottom of the puget sound If your hopes ain't high you'll never get down Let the future fall to tatters Cause the truth is nothing matters And any words that are sung or heard Are just ashes in the fall Cause it's only forever Only forever Only forever After all
