I am floating away
a thousand miles from the tide
with your ear to a seashell
the silver sound is all around
and all the colours fall like snow
dive in and swim away
wide eyed, panic on the getaway
the high tide could take me so far away
When we’re apart whatever are you thinking of?
We were the crashing whitecaps on the ocean
I’m dreaming you’re out in the blue
and I am right beside you
We’ll stir the stars around
and watch them fall away
Cause your heart has a lack of colour
and we should’ve known
I’m just a show as far as I can tell,
and we were going down.
If you cut me I suppose I would bleed
the colours of the evening stars.
I was so far out of place,
watching those stars in outer space
we need time, only time
Am I awake or is this just a dream?
So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?
(… All the time.)
