The Marching Line

Boots on concrete
Don't slip on the leaves
Smile at the strangers
Won't know what you mean
Clouds like cathedrals
Night hits the sea

And I walk to the high light
Ship's gonna take me at midnight
Storms sounding out like an overture
It's time to join the marching line

Take back your list
Don't know what love is like; a bullet in the chest
And I never say yes
Ever known a day without a quiet regret

And so I walk to the high light
Ship's gonna take me at midnight
Storms sounding out like an overture
It's time to join the marching line
Leave it all behind and join the marching line

And there's no captain who calls, "what's your name?"
An army of one
It's just me and a drum

Do you know love like a bullet in the chest?

Ships on grey seas
Waves keep the time like my heartbeat
It's an overture
It's time to join the marching line
Leave it all behind and join the marching line

Fortune-tellers, fortune still hurts
