You believe in this heavy speed
You've learned to know you have to
It's a gauge by which you measure your good
A space between where you've been standing and where you stood
And your body is like this land
Pressed into knots just by its motion
And so long untouched by human hands
So far from its forming ocean
Chorus:
And the great divide you're waiting for
And praying you can cross
You can't deny you're straying from it
To find another way around from this side of lost
She says she'll be waiting in Seattle
She says she's been waiting for the day
And you told her you could only hope you're able
That's all you could ever hope to say
'Cuz so much gets lost between the lines
And so much unspoken stays behind
And you're deep in the middle of Mountain Time
With four hours before you cross the line
Chorus:
To the great divide you're waiting for
And praying you can cross
You can't deny you're straying from it
But there's no other way around from this side of lost
You see it in the weather
You feel it in your bones
The dark distance comes sometime to the bright
Lightning glimpses of a somewhere brighter home
