Shearwater Electrified

Salt on the rail

Wind in my teeth

You drew a map

On the back of your seat

Cliffside motel

Flickering sign

We traced our scars

Down the county line

Shearwater

Electrified

Cut through the gale

We’re still alive

Feathers and wire in the sky

Hold on

Hold on

Shearwater

Electrified

White wings shaking on the high tide

Say you’ll jump and so will I

Hold on

Hold on

Coffee at dusk

Thunder at three

You said

“If we crash

At least we’ll be free”

Your laugh like a flare

Over dark green waves

I memorized it

For the nights I cave

Shearwater

Electrified

Cut through the gale

We’re still alive

Feathers and wire in the sky

Hold on

Hold on

Shearwater

Electrified

White wings shaking on the high tide

Say you’ll jump and so will I

Hold on

Hold on

[Drums drop to toms

Bass pulsing]

If the power goes

If the lines all break

I will call your name

Till the black sky shakes

Shearwater

Electrified

Cut through the gale

We’re still alive

Feathers and wire in the sky

Hold on

Hold on

Shearwater

Electrified

White wings shaking on the high tide

Say you’ll jump and so will I

Hold on

Hold on
