Lyrics

Certainty

[Verse 1]

Name on the line, last request

Pull the car over to find some rest

Sayin' "I love you"

Need a lie here, need to leave

Livin' in Del, make-believe

Sayin' "I owe you"

Crooked as a crow and not on the throne

Shadows in the grass and dirt on the lawn

Why do I string you along?

[Chorus]

My certainty is wild, believing

You are my child, believing

You lay beside me, sleeping on a plane

In the future

[Verse 2]

Sit on the phone, watch TV

Romance, action, mystery

Wantеd to show you

Sunwave is a particle of rhyme

Bring your light out and thеn open time

And maybe I love you

Maybe I love you as the river's so high

Maybe I love you as the river's so low

I love you, still don't know

[Chorus x2]

My certainty is wild, believing

That you are my child, believing

You lay beside me, sleeping on a plane

In the future

My certainty is wild, believing

That you are my child, believing

You lay beside me, sleeping on a plane

In the future
