From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea

Every time we do this
I fall for her
Wave after wave after wave
It's all for her
I know this can't be wrong I say
And I'll lie to keep her happy
As long as I know that you know
That today I belong
Right here with you
Right here with you

And so we watch the sun come up
From the edge of the deep green sea
And she listens like her head's on fire
Like she wants to believe in me
So I try
Put your hands in the sky
Surrender
Remember
We'll be here forever
And we'll never say goodbye

I've never been so
Colourfully-see-through-head before
(I've never been)
I've never been so
Wonderfully-me-you-want-some-more
And all I want is to keep it like this

You and me alone
A secret kiss
Don't go home
Don't go away
Don't let this end
Please stay

Not just for today

Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never
Let me go she says

Hold me like this for a hundred thousand million days
But suddenly she slows
And looks down at my breaking face
Why do you cry? what did I say?

But it's just rain I smile

Brushing my tears away
I wish I could just stop
I know another moment will break my heart
Too many tears
Too many times
Too many years I've cried over you
Over you
Over you

How much more can we use it up?
Drink it dry?
Take this drug?
Looking for something forever gone
But something we will always want?

Why, why, why do you let me go?, she says
I feel you pulling back I feel you changing shape
And just as I'm breaking free
She hangs herself in front of me
Slips her dress like a flag to the floor
And hands in the sky surrenders it all
I wish I could just stop
I know another moment will break my heart
Too many tears

Too many times
Too many years I've cried for you

It's always the same
Wake up in the rain
Head in pain
Hung in shame
A different name
Same old game
Love in vain
And miles, and miles, and miles, and miles, and miles, and miles
Away from home again
