lyrics

We walked to the water
It reached for us, hissing
Like the wind between my teeth
Laugh, we’re ridiculous
A planet of sharp sand, swirling
Coating our bones

I’d stand still forever
To feel you floating beside me
Heat up two square miles
Coax me from hiding
I need you to drag me
I’m selfish sometimes

I’ll hear your voice in shells for years
I’ll smell the foam that coats our knees and toes
The waves they crash, then just roll past
They always pass us
I’m okay, but could you help me up

We smoked a spliff on the deck
I don’t usually do this
But we’re on vacation
I’m trying to be content
Sitting and staying
It’s actually pleasant

Laid in the dunes
It was your idea
You still surprise me
That is no small feat
For someone I’ve known longer than myself
I was a clump of cells to you

I’d play dominos or anything really
If you’d never worry
If that kept us busy enough not to think
We’re so exhausting

I’ll hear your voice in shells for years
I’ll smell the foam that coats our knees and toes
The waves they crash, then just roll past
They always pass us
I’m okay, but could you help me up
