New Waves

Heard you're trying on a new coast
 Does it fit you like you hoped?
 Can you slip it off as easy
 As the dresses that we broke?
 And does it compliment your body
 Is it tight around your soul?
 I bet it's warmer than your tool shed
 I'm sure it never gets that cold
 Where do you hang your head
 If not a pillow in this culdesac
 Heard you've got another neighbor
 Does he know his way around?
 Can he navigate the ocean
 When it wants to take him down?
 And can he hear the way your heart ticks
 When it tips and travels back?
 A kind of clockwork can he hear it
 Or is it only you that can?
 Where do you hang your head
 If not a pillow in this culdesac
 Heard you yelling at the water
 I heard you curse and call it names
 Saw it sail into the distance
 And then return to you the same
 It's such an antiquated rhythm
 But can't it carry you away?
 Because what else is there to wait for
 Besides another kind of wave?
 My pretty little twisted commitment
 Be my another kind of wave
 (She said, "I know your name")
