metaphor means secret

She used to live by the sea
I squirm she learns how to cripple me
Cripple me oh so blissfully
She used to live by the sea

Hope regained composure
And she smiled at me
She used to live by the sea

To think that for so long
My goal's been so damn wrong
But that doesn't excuse what I'd lose
From dreaming of her tonight
It doesn't excuse what I'd lose

This will come back to haunt me
Time now just to say how cute she is
Halfhearted try to make amends
This will come back to haunt me

Hope retraced her footsteps
And came back to the sea
This will come back to haunt me

So now what to say
On that coming fateful day
When she's setting the tone, we're alone
And I'm starting to dim the light?
She's setting the tone, we're alone

I would've settled for nostalgia, honey
I would've settle for a lie
Just another guilty pleasure that we
Never thought of letting die
I would've settled for nostalgia, honey
I would've settle for a lie
Just another guilty pleasure that we
Probably should just let die

But this just never ends
That's just what she said
And I'm starting to think, on the brink
Of believing that she was right
I'm starting to think, on the brink...
