The Joy Formidable - What For

Across all this land
I can't see what's real
And the sun has bleached, the wind has bent
What you were feeling

Is this the way it goes
Turning nothing into waterfalls
Sink in the heavy flow
I can't deny what the shore will wash up
I'm waiting, I'm waiting What For

How long am I on trial
'Cause I've been good and bad
Why don't you run the mountain
And let go of the path

Is this the way it goes
Turning nothing into waterfalls
Sink in the heavy flow
I can't deny what the shore will wash up
I'm waiting, I'm waiting what for

Take your bleeding heart
And go back to the start, I'm staying here
I'm down on my luck, but I know which ways up
I'm not taking my turn this way

So when the winter breaks
Throw your mind this way
And when the bridges fall
And the sun it fades
I see the burning lake
Oh that's you and me
I see we're all the same
Just waiting, just waiting what for
What for
Ooh, what for
