Lyrics
I am a shipwreck of a girl
Raised in the bottom of the world
Lucked out when I was 17
I don’t know why you were sent to me
When I was washed in by the sea
Where I once saw rolling fields of gold
I now saw greenery
Great swathes of green and blue
Wasn’t gold once a pretty colour too?
Maybe everything is better when it’s changing
Have I not changed enough for you lately?
Maybe everything is better when it’s changing
Am I waiting for something new?
But heart and soul are all I asked of you
You are standing on the shore
You are waiting in the door
You are the dust that’s in the air
You’re everywhere
I am a shipwreck of a girl
With eyes that watch the whole world
And when you cracked me apart, where there should be a heart
You found a pearl
Maybe everything is better when it’s changing
Have I not changed enough for you lately?
Maybe everything is better when it’s changing
Am I waiting for something new?
Waiting for the whole world to crack in two
Waiting by the water
‘Cause I am my father’s daughter
Through and through
Heart and soul
Are all I asked of you
