Bear Island Lyrics

Standing on the cliff at Bear Island

I love it when it's quiet

Wishing it was warm enough to jump in

The sand on the beach is picking up in the wind

It's somewhat of a current, I like walking on it

Soft footsteps upon the grit

It's strange to see it in such a different season

Like seagulls in the winter in some parking lot on the mainland

And I can feel my chemistry reframing

My breaths exchanged, I ripped the page

A new age coming in

So grab the vine and pull the leaves

Off the limb, let the forest breathe

Can you feel the bending bones

You shape yourself with every rope

You're gonna be okay, time's all it takes

Recently life's been laughing in my face

Pulling me out of place, knocking me out of the race

And it taunts me and my fear of change

Only granting me a sunny day in a new place

But what I've learned is that I'll be okay

If I can hold myself and meditate

It feels a little strained to take all this ownership

Like I'm finally growing into the body I'm living in

So grab the vine and pull the leaves

Off the limb, let the forest breathe

Can you feel the bending bones

You shape yourself with every rope

You're gonna be okay, time's all it takes

Oh, I know that it's easier in the shady grove

But I know that you'll never move from where you say that you loathe

So grab the vine and pull the leaves

Off the limb, let the forest breathe

Can you feel the bending bones

You shape yourself with every rope

You're gonna be okay, time's all it takes

You're gonna be okay, time's all it takes
