You keep telling me I'm beautiful
|
But I feel a little less so each time
|
Your love is so colorful
|
It flashes like a neon sign
|
But I finally drove out where
|
The sky is dark enough to see stars
|
And I found I missed no one
|
Just listening to the swishing of distant cars
|
|
I hope I never see
|
The ocean again
|
Pushing and pulling at me
|
As I go deeper and deeper in
|
Til I'm so far from my shore
|
So far from what I came here for
|
I let you surround me
|
I let you drown me
|
Out with your din
|
And then I learned how to swim
|
|
I was floating above myself
|
Watching her do just what you wanted
|
Poor little friendly ghost
|
Wondering why her whole house feels haunted
|
I told myself I was strong enuf
|
That I had plenty of blood to give
|
And each elbow cradled a needle
|
But listless and faint ain't no way to live
|
|
So I hope I never see
|
The ocean again
|
Pushing and pulling at me
|
As I go deeper and deeper in
|
Til I'm so far from my shore
|
So far from what I came here for
|
I let you surround me
|
I let you drown me
|
Out with your din
|
And then I learned how to swim
|
|
You keep telling me I'm beautiful
|
But I feel a little less so each time
|
Your love is so colorful
|
It flashes like a neon sign
|
But I finally drove out where
|
The sky is dark enough to see stars
|
And I found I missed no one
|
Just listening to the swishing of distant cars
