Lyrics

you will never be alive
just like you are today
you’ll never miss the way
your mother kisses you
on a sunny day
in the afternoon

and i sink into the soil
like a puzzle piece
and i’m stuck under the mud
until the thunderstorm
finally swallows me
leaves us all alone

and i sit up on a cliff
out by the endless blue
and i looked out at the ocean
and i said one day
i’ll be a part of you
give me a tidal wave

for now it’s just a cloudy sunday morning
and all the rain and tears are pouring
on the soil

it’s overwhelming
the sea’s unbroken swelling
the undertow is melting
everything into nothing

there’s not a place I’ve wanted to return
no bridge I haven’t burned
no lesson that i’ve ever learned
just yet

i packed my life into a box
and drove away from you
but then suddenly the world
looked so beautiful
from the rearview
it wasn’t there before
i swear

now i’m standing on an overpass so dimly lit
do you ever wish that death could drive a limousine
and help you out of this?
do i just have to plead?


life is a question
I don’t want the answer
the only thing i’ve gathered
is pictures in a broken frame

there’s not a day i ever truly want to
last a little longer
someone’s putting water in my veins

it’s gonna drown away my flame

do you remember when the world
was a cardboard house?
now they’re sitting on a curb
getting soaking wet
they’re full of emptiness

i held your hand that night and wept
still feels like years and years ago
i guess by now those tears have crept
through the floor
