[Verse 1: Matthew Field, Msaki & Matthew Field]

I spend most of my time tryna work out what I'm going to say

For example, today

I did not leave the house

And I wrote to people far away

Hours away

[Chorus: Msaki]

Don't sail away in your mind

Have you always been like this?

Conspiring with lightning?

Don't fade away, you're on the brink of something great

[Post-Chorus: Msaki]

Stay, don't go

Stay, don't go

Stay, don't go

Stay, don't go

Stay

[Verse 2: Matthew Field, Msaki & Matthew Field]

I spent most of the night

Tryna take back all the time that it took

In a borrowed book

I write things in the margins that you wouldn't understand if you looked

But why would you look?

[Chorus: Msaki]

Don't sail away in your mind

Have you always been like this?

Conspiring with lightning?

Don't fade away, you're on the brink of something great

Great

[Bridge: Msaki & Matthew Field, Matthew Field]

I take the white shadow from you

I give you what I can give you

I curse thе burden that's on you

But I can't take it away

Broken glass in thе river

Reflects a crumblin' pillar

Break the branch that is withered

Cut it into somethin'

Turn the wheel of tomorrow

As you lie dreamin' in the grass

Decant all of your sorrow

Into a clearer glass

Endless soul, unbending light

Already whole, all is right

[Chorus: Msaki & Matthew Fields]

Don't sail away in your mind (In Los Angeles, in the Pyrenees)

Have you always been like this? (In the Andes, and in the Himalayas)

Conspiring with lightning? (In the Cederberg)

Don't fade away (There's a weaver bird)

You're on the brink of something great (There's a pigeon on a building in Johannesberg)

Great

[Outro: Msaki & Matthew Fields, Matthew Fields]

Your white shadow, I'm in your white shadow

Your white shadow, I'm in your white shadow (Your white shadow)

Your white shadow, I'm in your white shadow

Your white shadow, I'm in your white shadow (Your white shadow)

Your white shadow, I'm in your white shadow
