Lyrics
Taking in what you said I’m thinking back to all those times we spent long ago Too many years have gone I’m not the person that you thought I would become Well I’m so jaded (jaded) on what they think of me and I’ve collected (collected) my own conspiracies And I’m exhausted but I’m not giving in ‘cause I’ve got one more breath to bare and I make it just to see you smile girl The light gets brighter as I run away; tonight on fire when tomorrows grey ‘Cause I’ve been running around in circles; yes I’ve been searching for the answers All the while you’re right there watching me With eyes that crumble statues and legs that make me shake I was overwhelmed before I hit the stage A night swim to the edge of the ocean Far away from all my ties A quarter mile past the palm trees that where you’ll find us Drinking run growing old in the sand And I will find her on my own someday The lights get brighter as she runs away While the ocean waves crash hard on the pylings I’m standing in the midst I’m waiting for her shadow to cross the line like the tattoos on my wrist And I’m exhausted but I’m not giving in ‘Cause I’ve got one more breath to bare and ill waste it just to see you smile girl A night swim to the edge of the ocean far away from all my ties A quarter mile past the sunset that’s where you’ll find me Drinking rum growing old in the sand I’ve crossed the line of sober He’s crying on her shoulder running left of the end When I’m sinking (sinking) Down into the depths And there’s not breath here And I’ve got nothing left And I’m exhausted But I’m not giving in ‘Cause I’ve got one more breath to bare and ill waste it just to see you smile girl
