[Verse 1]
This is where your ship went down
Right there, stern and bow
You took on waves, took on water
You took the blame, even harder
You drug a net across the ocean floor
Beer bottles and a broken oar
You washed on shore beneath the moon
And I'm not sure you want me to
But I'll put you back together

[Chorus]
Hush, hush
You don't have to have the answers
Hush, hush
I will gather all the branches
I will light a fire for you
Rest your head 'til you've had rest enough
Hush, now hush
Hush, hush

[Verse 2]
It's worse in the light of day
It hurts the things they say
You wrote big letters in the sand
You watch the sky and wave your hands
But I love you if they never come
I love you in the scorching sun
One cup of water at a time
'Til you remember you are mine
And I will love you back together
[Chorus]
Hush, hush
You don't have to have the answers
Hush, hush
I will gather all the branches
I will light a fire for you
Rest your head 'til you've had rest enough
Hush, now hush
Hush, hush

[Bridge]
One cup of water at a time
'Til you remember you are mine
I am the calm, I am the sea
Your rescue and recovery
And I am the storm that swallowed you
I let you bleed, I thought you knew
And I am the bottom and I am the floor
I am the deep you never knew before
I let you sink and I let you go
But I caught you in the undertow
And I am the shore
And I am the flame
And mercy is my name!

[Outro]
Hush, hush
Hush now
Hush now
Hush
Hush, hush
