lyrics

Watch me sink like a fishbone, into the surf
Do like a shark does, breaking the surface
Do like the sea does, when it swallows the sun
I’m swimming into your teeth and onto your tongue
Pull me into the darkness where it’s warm

Well I can’t think clearly when you got me under your skin
How’s it look from the outside looking in?

Sink like a stone does, when I let you down
I tried to dry your eyes, and I nearly drowned
Do like the sun does, when it's leaving me blind
Blind and bleeding in the darkness here
Will you throw me to the wolves my dear?

Well it took such a long time to see these tides turn
Will you let me show you all I’ve learned ?
And when all I have is burning will you stay with me?

Will you leave me as a silhouette in the blue
Strip my image from every part of you
It will be so strange having no one to belong to
I can feel two souls in a tangle come undone

I wish these times were simple and I wish these times were fun
Back when it had begun
Do you remember we were animals just rolling round in the sun?
Back when it had begun

I wish these times were simple and I wish these times were fun
Back when it had begun
Do you remember we were animals just rolling round in the sun?
Back when it had begun
