What For - The Joy Formidable

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

For the last time

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
