Diving For Pearls

Trying to get back to my life. A life so deep in shades of blue
A world of me, a world of you
And I know that you're afraid of silence
And I know there's nothing more that I can say
To you my words are tinged with violence

Is there some place where we can just divide
Take our good selves, the rest can go and hide
Through purple travel back to blue
To the old world, to my old self and renew

I guess I'm just a lonely boy trying to make my way through the world
My mama said "Don't you go diving for pearls"

Sitting down to write to these words, words I know will never ring true
To the cynics inside of you
There's a world I know without forgiveness
Burning down this once happy home
Your lies feel like an act of kindness

Is there some place where I can just reset
Say I'm sorry, drift off and forget
Colour changes, we shift from blue to red
Hope it lingers, hiding beneath our bed

I guess I'm just a foolish boy trying to get a date with a girl
My mama said "Don't you go diving for pearls"

A chance, an ideal, I fall, broken in two, hatch something new
It's not that lost on me, the cold irony
The hope that I can be what you need, not what you see

I guess I'm just an old-school man ironically listening to Wham!
My mama said "You gotta be a modern man"
