This is not what we know
That all of our secrets are words that can't escape us
This is not how we learn
That in all our weakness we were learning to make

I was deceived by the waves
And the sand along the coast
I was deceived by the sea
And I never can go home

This is not what we know
That all of our secrets are words that can't escape us
This is not how we learn
That in all our weakness we were learning to make

I was hoping that I'd never have to let this go
And all the while my arms were waving
My arms were waving
I was hoping that I'd never have to let this go
And all the while my arms are waving
My arms are waving for help

This is not what we know
That all of our secrets are words that can't escape us
This is not how we learn
That in all our weakness we were learning to make
