Familiar - Agnes Obel - A Secret!

This song is about a secret. When you lose all your privacy, when you become transparent, or when you make yourself transparent, what is it you're losing? You're losing your secrets.
Agnes Caroline Thaarup Obel is a Danish singer, songwriter, and musician. Her song "Familiar" is the theme song to the Canadian TV series Cardinal.


Can you walk on the water if I, you and I?
'Cause your blood's running cold outside the familiar true to life
Can you walk on the water if I, you and I?
Or keep your eyes on the road and live in the familiar without you and I
It glows with gates of gold to true life
And love is a ghost that the others can't see
It's a danger
Every shade of us you fade down to keep
Them in the dark on who we are (oh what you do to me)
Gonna be the death of me
It's a danger
'Cause our love is a ghost that the others can't see, oh
Took a walk to the summit at night, you and I
To burn a hole in the old grip of the familiar, you and I
And the dark was opening wide, do or die
Under a mask of a million ruling eyes
Oh, I
And our love is a ghost that the others can't see
It's a danger
Every shade of us you fade down to keep
Them in the dark on who we are (oh what you do to me)
Gonna be the death of me
It's a danger
'Cause our love is a ghost that the others can't see, oh
