Beaches
22 and terrified
Your hair was long, your eyes were wild
Your heart was heavy
Some good intentions, some mistakes
A dead end seemed like a lucky break
For you, it was as good a time as any
Spending every waking day together but alone
Stretching out our sentences as far as they would go
You dreamed of being nothing more
Than a moveless cloud beyond the shore
Watching over beaches below you
You would hide behind your eyes
I should have held you to the light
To see inside and really truly know you
We had a life beyond this door but you lifted the latch
You doused it all in kerosene and then you struck a match
You put your shadow in some bright
Nowhere of fields and sunlight
You needed to be anywhere but here
You were headed god knows where, but god knows you didn't care
You wanted to disappear
You prefer a flicker to a steady source of light
You prefer a flicker to a steady source of light
I said there's no queue but there's a wait
You were going nowhere and running late
You come like a flame and you go just like water
Waiting for you to get homesick
Woke up with a prayer on my lips
Calling you over and over and over and over and over
They found you by the oceanside, said that it was suicide
You know I'm sure those beaches were dreaming of you too
You know I'm sure those beaches were dreaming of you too
You know I'm sure those beaches are dreaming of you too
You know I'm sure those beaches are dreaming of you too
Your hair was long, your eyes were wild
Your heart was heavy
Some good intentions, some mistakes
A dead end seemed like a lucky break
For you, it was as good a time as any
Spending every waking day together but alone
Stretching out our sentences as far as they would go
You dreamed of being nothing more
Than a moveless cloud beyond the shore
Watching over beaches below you
You would hide behind your eyes
I should have held you to the light
To see inside and really truly know you
We had a life beyond this door but you lifted the latch
You doused it all in kerosene and then you struck a match
You put your shadow in some bright
Nowhere of fields and sunlight
You needed to be anywhere but here
You were headed god knows where, but god knows you didn't care
You wanted to disappear
You prefer a flicker to a steady source of light
You prefer a flicker to a steady source of light
I said there's no queue but there's a wait
You were going nowhere and running late
You come like a flame and you go just like water
Waiting for you to get homesick
Woke up with a prayer on my lips
Calling you over and over and over and over and over
They found you by the oceanside, said that it was suicide
You know I'm sure those beaches were dreaming of you too
You know I'm sure those beaches were dreaming of you too
You know I'm sure those beaches are dreaming of you too
You know I'm sure those beaches are dreaming of you too
