The Spark - DIIV

Sit at the foot of my bed

She said, «Like a ghost

Watch a boat in a cove

Lose hope, who knows?»

Here there’s a shadow

A girl in the shade

Wants to find someone

So what, who knows?

In our past

We were such a mess

We did our best

Only time will tell

It’s our past

It’s a wreck

We do our best

And the spark will glow

Sit at the foot of my bed

She said, «Like a ghost

Watch a boat in a cove

Lose hope, who knows?»

As summer fades waves carry

Your soft knowing gaze

Marigolds in a row

So what, who knows?

In our past

We were such a mess

We did our best only

Time will tell

It’s our past

It’s a wreck

We do our best and

The spark will glow

Letting go, the lines we tow

Surrender what we thought we know

Letting go, the lines we tow

Tending to the spark up close
