Lyrics

Dead Pontoon

[Verse]

Are you falling through?

Are you falling through?

Don't let it leak out now

You've got to make it through

The photos in your hands

In your box of youth

It's not different now

Than it'll ever be

You've got to trust me

You've got to trust me

[Refrain]

Don't you worry ‘bout us losing everyone

Cause I'll reach you and we'll go out on the pond

And we'll get stuck in the middle of it all with a dead pontoon

I don't think I have enough batteries

[Outro]

It won’t be long

Till we'll all go back

To our open locks

And our biggest cities

It won't be long

Till we all go back

To our open locks

And our biggest cities

(It won't be long)
