On Planets - So Long

"This song is about the flow back and forth between coming and going. As words they are separate and opposite, but without leaving one place, it is impossible to arrive at the next—in many ways they are one and the same thing. In a particularly confusing time about which direction we are headed in, it’s a bit of a reminder that really the only direction is forward." - On Planets 🖤 Listen to On Planets - So Long https://bitbird.lnk.to/solongid​ 💿 Listen to all bitbird releases https://bitbird.lnk.to/releasesid​​​ ⚡ Listen to our playlists https://bitbird.lnk.to/chillid​​​ https://bitbird.lnk.to/energyid​​​ 🕊️ Listen to our Gouldian Finch compilations https://bitbird.lnk.to/gf3id​​​ https://bitbird.lnk.to/gf2id​​​ https://bitbird.lnk.to/gf1id​​​ 🦜 Visit the bitbird shop https://bitbird.lnk.to/storeid​​​ 🪐 Follow On Planets   / onplanets​     / onplanets​     / weareallonplanets​     / onplanets​​      / @onplanets   ❤️ Join the family   / discord     / bitbird​​​     / bitbird​​​     / bitbirdofficial​​​     / bitbirdfamily     / bitbird​​​     / bitbirdofficial​​​   https://bitbirdofficial.com​​​ ✨ Lyrics From a tangle of intention, Decision and dead branches, I did my best, but couldn’t pull out any answers Was living in the lurch behind this fear of going backwards To close another chapter So standing on the pier At the shore of all I’ve done, Nothing left except to wait And hope the tide would come up Isn’t it a shame how much I've left upon the dock? In the name of moving on, I cut the ropes and cast off I know, I know You’ve been swimming so slow And there’s a light on the horizon So long, so long Hope you make it back home Don’t lose sight of where you started from In a haze of aimless rest, With the crutch of coming last, Caved and craned my neck As a year went floating past Crawled out to the edge, It was time to leave the raft; Forever on a crest On a wave that couldn’t crash Had a hard time coming back, Forgot the taste of salt Was grasping at a chance When I got dashed upon the rocks I’d been casting seams across the bricks in my façade; Cracked up, smiling at the tideline, Washed up back where I belong I know, I know You’ve been swimming so slow And there’s a light on the horizon So long, so long Hope you make it back home Don’t lose sight of where you started from I know, I know You’ve been swimming so slow And there’s a light on the horizon So long, so long Hope you make it back home Don’t lose sight of where you started from I know, I know There’s a light on the horizon So long, so long Don’t lose sight of where you started from ____ Independent record label. create forever 🕊️
