Sea Legs

Lyrics

Of all the churning random hearts under the sun
 Eventually fading into night
 These two are opening now
 As we lie I touch you under fuller light
 Girl, if you're a seascape, I'm a listing boat
 For the thing carries every hope, I invest in a single lie
 The choice is yours to be loved
 Come away from it emptier, oh
 'Cause when the dead moon rises again
 Be no time to stall or protocol to hem us in
 And when the dog slides underneath the train
 There's no time, no use to searching for the mutt's remains
 Throw all consequence aside
 And a cheerless pyre we will set alight
 ♪
 Of all the intersecting lines in the sand
 I routed a labyrinth to your lap
 I never used a map, sliding off the land on an incidental tide
 And along the way, you know they try, they try
 We got sea legs and we're off tonight
 Can't have that to which they've no right
 You belong to a simpler time
 I'm a victim to the impact of these words and this rhyme
 'Cause when the dead moon rises again
 Be no time to stall or protocol to hem us in
 Darling, when the dog slides, open the door and where'd she go?
 There's no time, no use to searching for the mutt's remains
 Throw all consequence aside
 And a cheerless pyre we will set alight
 
 Of all the churning random hearts under the sun
 Eventually fading into night
 These two are opening now
 As we lie I touch you under fuller light
 Girl, if you're a seascape, I'm a listing boat
 For the thing carries every hope, I invest in a single lie
 The choice is yours to be loved
 Come away from it emptier, oh
 'Cause when the dead moon rises again
 Be no time to stall or protocol to hem us in
 And when the dog slides underneath the train
 There's no time, no use to searching for the mutt's remains
 Throw all consequence aside
 And a cheerless pyre we will set alight
