lyrics

Up in Eastern BC
Out on the transom, out on the sea.
I didn't know just what to say then so nothing left my lips.

I always just lied through my teeth
Ask me what's wrong, go ahead and guess what I will say.
But that evening I felt safe and so I bled right in your lap.

Was it hard to swallow your pride?
I actually doubt it.
Your friendship's given me more joy than I ever could've had without it.

It never ceases to amaze
How similar we all are, and why we all hide.
But after sixteen years of silence you spoke up anyway.

I didn't want an apology
And I didn't want your tears.
I'm just so glad to have had you at my side facing all of my fears.

Up in Eastern BC
I left a hammer, you left a nail.
I swear for a second that I saw the face of God.
