Written for the film Rolled, directed by Whit Scott.

lyrics

I hope you’re not hiding purposely
Why wouldn’t you want to be seen by me?
Where did everybody go?
I’d rather not be here alone
It’s still too early to go home

I hope my friends are asleep right now
Alone in their own beds with the lights turned out
Having dreams that feature me
Swinging heroically from trees
Hanging out like we should be

There’s a sea between them and me
And I’m afraid of swimming

I hope that I didn’t miss the bus
I woke up too late, so I’m in a rush
I run though my shoes are still untied
Cold cause my jacket’s still inside
And I all I wanted was a ride

There’s a sea between them and me
And I’m afraid of swimming

I hope that I find the guts to cross
The body of water separating us
And brave the current that’s inside
See we can out swim any tide
Realize my friends are by my side

And I know I won’t drown
In any ocean, strait, or sound
As long as you’re around me
