Skimming Stones Lyrics

All I want is to reach the horizon
Where these skimming stones go on forever
For as they sink, I sink with them
Just to hold your hand right now
Would be all that I know

And I'll take you down
To the depths of my soul

I'd sink in that bliss, in that oneness
Lord I still don't really know how to love you
The way you love me... I don't feel worthy
And I envy the eyes of those who do

Lord I don't know, the way you love me

And if I knew it then, somehow I'd remember
That trust, that openness, I will make true decisions
Walking straight ahead
Instead of following directions
Out of line to the left or right
In the arms of a lover

In the endless starry night
I've done that all my life
These skimming stones decide
These skimming stones still lie

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Well this song is obviously a type of love song and the person singing is doubting herself and wondering if she's really worth his love and she envies everyone who she thinks is worth his love. I think the Skimming Stones are a way to say that she's not going to leave him "These skimming stones decide" could mean she made up her mind and "these skimming stones still lie" probably means that she will remain with him. All and all, beautiful song. I listen to it way too much :)
