Seaside

We dance on wet pavement
Swim in puddles with sharks
I'll hold you so closely as they wrap their jaws around me
I'll sing you to sleep, my love

And hold the boombox on my shoulder
I will carry these boulders
Sing it all out loud
Say, "I love you" from the crowd
You won't look and I'll just play

Sitting pretty by the seaside
Throwing rocks at passers by
I just want you to notice when I'm not around
I want the absence to feel profound

You said, "Punch me in the face or I'll do it for you
Right here, right now, I want to see my lights knocked out"
You had a black eye for weeks, you had a story for months
We've got confessions for years with the names blacked out

Kill your ambitions or we'll do it for you
Kill your darlings 'cause they'll never hold you like us
These words on repeat are all we need, are all we need

Sitting pretty by the seaside, throwing rocks at passersby
I just want you to notice when I'm not around
I want the absence to feel profound
Sitting pretty on your queen-sized bed
Watching your neighbor crawling under the garden fence
We'll sing I Can't Help Falling in Love
Again and again 'til it means nothing again

Everyone's getting older
Everything feels that much colder
And I don't know if I've got the same skin
That I wore when we first put pen to paper, wrote some songs about the weather

Everyone's getting older
Everything feels that much colder
And I don't know if I've got the same skin
That I wore when we first put pen to paper, wrote some songs about the weather

Sitting pretty by the seaside and throwing rocks at passersby
I just want you to notice when I'm not around
I want the absence to feel profound
Sitting pretty on your queen-sized bed
Watching your neighbor crawl under the garden fence
We'll sing I Can't Help Falling In Love
Again and again til it means nothing again
