To The Sea

I’ll watch you when you say
What you are
And when you blame
Everyone, you broken king

I’ll watch you change the frame
I’ll watch you
when you take your aim
At the sum of everything

You and your heart
Shouldn’t feel so far apart
You can’t choose what you take
Why you gotta break and
Make it feel so hard

You lay there in the street
Like broken glass
Reflecting pieces of the sun
You’re not the flame

You cut the people passing by
Because you know what you don’t like
It’s just so easy
It’s just so easy

You and your heart
Shouldn’t feel so far apart
You can’t choose
What you take
Why you gotta break and
Make it feel so hard
You and your heart
Shouldn’t feel so far apart
You can’t choose
What you take
Why you gotta break and
Make it feel so hard

You draw so many lines in the sand
Lost the fingernails on your hands
How you gonna scratch any backs
Better hope the tide
Will take our lines away
Take all our lines and….

Hope the tide will take our lines a…
Hope the tide will take our lines away
Take all our lines away

Bring on your hunters
Let them bring their dogs
It’s me that you wanted
I’ve been right here all along
Right here all along
 
You better bring your buckets
We’ve got dreams to drain
I’ll be at the bottom
I’ve been right here waiting so long
Just waiting so long
 
Dreams to drain
Put them in a cage
Unlock the pain
And I’ll be here waiting
 
You fell asleep with the key
All your walls
Mean nothing to me
I know you’ll come back
To set us free
 
Run my dear son
Until we get to the trees
And then keep on going all the way
We’ve got to get right down to the sea
We’ve got to get to the sea
My dear son
We’ve got to get to the sea
 
But don’t you touch the water
Don’t you barely breathe
And if you see yourself looking back at you
You’re going to have to leave
You’re going to have to leave
I don’t want you to go
But you’ve got to leave
 
Dreams to drain
Put them in a cage
Unlock the pain
And I’ll be here waiting
 
You fell asleep with the key
All your walls
Mean nothing to me
I know you’ll come back
You’re going to set us free
 
I don’t want you to go
But you’ve got to leave
You can always come to me
I’ll give you what you need
Run my dear son
We’ve got to get to the sea

No good with faces
And I’m bad with names
Gave me directions
But it’s all the same
I’m lost
I’m too tired to try
 
Street lamps are broken
Black the way I came
Who broke the moonlight
Watch it wax and wane
I’m lost
I’m too tired to try
 
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves now
There’s no need for rain its our own parade
Let’s not be afraid of our reflections
Its not only you you’re looking at now
 
Road signs were stolen
Left here holding this flame
Who stole my patience
Who stole my way
I’m lost
I’m too tired to try
 
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves now
There’s no need for rain its our own parade
Let’s not be afraid of our reflections
Its not only you you’re looking at now
Who you looking at now
Who you looking at now
 
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves now
There’s no need for rain its our own parade
Let’s not be afraid of our reflections
Its not only you you’re looking at now
Who you looking at now
Who you looking at now

No good with faces
And I’m bad with names
Gave me directions
But it’s all the same
I’m lost
I’m too tired to try

Are they laughing at or with me
Ah baby those are such great shoes
And I think that I’m so happy now
And I think this is a better you
 
Are they laughing at or with me
Why can’t we just say what we mean
 
People are just trying to fit in
But is there something telling you
You can’t trust anyone in this town
Ah baby those are such great shoes
 
Are they laughing at or with me
Why can’t we just say what we mean
 
Don’t put your money where your mouth is baby
We don’t want to see you choke
Nobody’s joking around here anymore
Nobody’s broken any high scores
No dancing shoes have touched these dusty floors
For such a long long time
For such a long time
 
Are they laughing at or with me
Why can’t we just say what we mean

When I look up at the stars
As I walk in the night
Down the street by my house
It feels good
 
When I look up at the stars
As I walk in the night
Down the street by my house
It feels good
 
The light from the moon
Is afraid of the ground
So it falls behind spaces
And hides behind clouds
 
When I look up at the clouds
As they move through the night
With the wind
As I walk down the street
 
The light from the moon
Is afraid of the ground
So I step on the shadows
Of my own feet

Oh, you’re such a pretty thing
I’ll take you and I’ll make you all mine
I would steal you from this patient world
Let it chase us, it could never take you back
 
We could watch it from the clouds
We can’t stop it anyhow
It’s not ours
 
We could watch it from the clouds
We can’t stop it anyhow
It’s not ours
It’s not ours
 
I know you know me well enough
To know I’m lucky to have you
 
But oh it’s just the little things
The words that I should tell you all the time
Like you’re so sweet to me
When you beat me in double solitaire
You’re so sweet to me
In a world that’s not always fair
 
We could watch it from the clouds
We can’t stop it anyhow
It’s not ours
 
We could watch it from the clouds
We can’t stop it anyhow
It’s not ours
 
The more love that you feel
The more your little heart will ache
Love is the only thing that carries on
It’s the only thing this world can’t take
This love is ours
This love is ours
 
Oh you’re such a pretty thing
I’ll take you and I’ll make you all mine

Hey little girl
You might not know this song
This is not the kind of song
That you can sing along to 
Hey little girl
Maybe some day
At least that’s what all the good people will say
 
Hey little girl
Look what you’ve done
You’ve gone and stole my heart
And made it your own

You’ve gone and stole my heart
And made it your own

Hey little girl
Look what you’ve done
You’ve gone and stole my heart
And made it your own

Hey little girl
Black and white and right and wrong
Only live inside a song
That I will sing to you
You don’t ever have to feel lonely
You will never lose any tears
You don’t have to feel any sadness
When you look back on the years
 
How can I look you in the eyes
And tell you such big lies
The best I can do is try to show you
How to love with no fear
My little girl
You’ve gone and stole my heart
And made it your

You’ve stole my heart
And made it your

I don’t want you to go
I don’t want you to go
 
But it’s time to turn your love
Give it back
It’s time to turn your love
Give it back
Give it back…
 
I don’t want you to know
Let’s not go to sleep tonight
It’s not that it goes too fast
It’s just that it goes at all
 
Then it’s time to turn your love
Give it back
It’s time to turn your love
Give it back
It’s time to turn your love
Give it back
Give it back
Give it back
Give it back…
 
Why should I be sad
When I’m just you
Why should I be sad
Baby I’m with you
Why should I be sad
When I’m just you
Why should I be sad
Baby I’m with, baby I’m with you
Baby I’m with you
 
It’s time to turn your love
Give it back
It’s time to turn your love
Give it back
It’s time to turn your love
Give it back
 
Give it back
Give it back
Give it back…

Some will say
This place is wrong
These hands are fast
This face is long
 
Stop upsetting yourself
Upsetting your thoughts
Upsetting this world
That you’re standing on
 
These plans are torn
These feet are cold
This shield is worn
This peace was stolen
 
Stop upsetting yourself
Upsetting your thoughts
Upsetting this world
That you’re standing on
 
These problems they breathe
Their fire is real
The coins that they keep
You cannot steal
Even when you’re asleep
They’ll be here still
Breathing out or in
 
Some will say this place is gone
These roads are steep and much too long
These plans are cheap my feet are cold
Cut the knot these coins are golden
Some will say this place is gone
These roads are steep and much too long
These plans are cheap my feet are cold
Cut the knot these coins are golden
 
Stop upsetting yourself
Upsetting your thoughts
Upsetting this world
That you’re standing on
 
These problems they breathe
Their fire is real
The coins that they keep
You cannot steal
Even when you’re asleep
They’ll be here still
Breathing out or in

Everybody is made of clay
That’s what they used to say
Until the truth stepped on us all
Now everything that was big is small
We’re just little crying robots
Program me
I wanna win the race
I wanna find the place
Where the king locked up the princess
Jump the fence
And drink a little bit of….
 
Red wine, mistakes, apologies
Red wine, headaches, mythology
 
Now who is the king of the sky
Jupiter says oh me oh my oh why
Is the game always changing?
I’ve been through some strangeness
What’s the matter is the feast not fat enough
Up the ladder with your feet
Reaching with your hands
You can feel it and dream it
I know you want to believe it
Just steal it
Take a piece of the sun
And drink some…
 
Red wine, mistakes, apologies
Red wine, headaches, mythology
 
Now everybody’s in the play
At least that’s what the script told me to say
It said, shadows cut across the hero’s face
He falls from grace until a little bird sang
The truth is never ending
We’re just here pretending
Let’s all laugh so that we don’t cry
Let’s all lift our glasses up to the sky for some…
 
Red wine, mistakes, apologies
Red wine, headaches, mythology

Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures
 
I pictured us at the end of time
Holding up a camera to our eyes
I took a picture of you took a picture of me
In the background of the picture was water running to the sea
 
So I pictured us standing there
Staying away from time
Watching it like a river
As it slowly washes by
 
And now
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures
And now
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures
 
The feed back loop is closing in so tight
Surrounding ourselves with satellites
 
But I picture us standing there
Staying away from time
Just watching it like a river
As it slowly washes by
 
And now
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking
Pictures of people taking pictures
I pictured us at the end of time
Taking pictures of nothing

If they tell me that the bees don’t make honey anymore
Then what am I supposed to tell you
And if they tell me that the ocean is tired of its shores
Then tell me what am I supposed to tell you
 
When I can’t tell you anything
But the truth
 
When I can’t tell you anything
But the truth

What happens to an eagle’s nest in a storm
How does the mama keep the baby warm
What if the wind is telling us that its time
And what if we’re not ready to fly
 
I can’t tell you anything
But the truth

Tree tops they touch the ground
In the morning walk with no sound
Hear no birds, hear no planes
Through the mud, feel the clay
Build it up, make it sing
Make it strong, give it wings
 
But I can’t tell you anything
But the truth
 
What is this place?
Who am I?
Why did we come here?
 
What is this place?
Who am I?
Why did we come here?

I don’t know I don’t know
But I don’t know that we’re meant to know

I don’t know I don’t know
But I don’t know that we’re meant to know

After all of this time
After all of these seasons
After your one decision
To go to the water for reason
Now it’s only the ocean and you

All of these lines
Will all be erased soon
Out with the tide
Then back with the waves
It’s only the ocean and you

You don’t want
you don’t wait
You don’t love
but you don’t hate
You just roll over me
And you pull me in

When this work is done
When this coat is dry
When this world is too much
It will be
Only the ocean and me
When my sails go up
Mountains fade away
Stars come out
I’m finally free
Now it’s only the ocean and me

You don’t want you don’t wait
You don’t love but you don’t hate
You just roll over me
And you pull me in

You don’t want you don’t wait
You don’t love but you don’t hate
You just roll over me
And you pull me in
