Pastel Sea

I'm swimming in this pastel sea
I'm floating, drifting endlessly
My thoughts, my woes were taken by the waves (Oh)
My bottled-up anxiety
Has not been freed since I was three
I never thought I needed this relief (Oh)

This temporary
Momentary
Much needed escape

I'm at the lookout
Five in the morning
This is the sunlight
First sign of dawning
Breathing the salt air
Tranquility is
What I've been feeling, yeah
In this pastel sea

St. Heliers is where I'll be
My secret park bench welcomes me
And very soon my tears had formed a creek (Oh)
The night of crashing, roaring waves
My soul, my heart had parted ways
The world was black and white for quite some time (Oh)

This temporary
Momentary
Much needed escape

I'm at the lookout
Five in the morning
This is the sunlight
First sign of dawning
Breathing the salt air
Tranquility is
What I've been feeling, yeah
In this pastel sea

Your arms on my waist
Five in the evening
This is the moonlight
First sign of dusking
Breathing the brisk air
Tranquility is
What I've been feeling yeah
In this pastel sea

I put my arms out wide
Let out a shrilling cry
All the candlelights
Had died from this tempestuous storm
I put my arms out wide
Let out a shrilling cry
This epiphany of winter bliss, apricity

My little toes they
Frolicked in the sand
Those indentations
Formed my tattooed land
Breathing the salt air
Tranquility is
What I've been feeling (Oh)

I'm at the lookout
Five in the morning
This is the sunlight
First sign of dawning
Breathing the salt air
Tranquility is
What I've been feeling, yeah
In this pastel sea

Your arms on my waist
Five in the evening
This is the moonlight
First sign of dusking
Breathing the brisk air
Tranquility is
What I've been feeling yeah
In this pastel sea
