lyrics
Take me down to the place on the fire escape
Longing eyes summer drive burn slow
4am lie awake with the tin rain sounds
Take me there take me there takemethere
Cool, bleary bleary eyes
Two, your hands reply it cuts right
Through, I know waves crash love slow
It’s that accidental grace, don’t kill it with words I am a queen
Sun playing coyly on our skin
It’s a dangerous feeling
It’s a sinking in feeling like
Oceans I know bleed fast love slow
It’s the way that we know it’s the way that we know
I’m shaking from this potion I’m down
Sweet on salt like a spring runoff
It’s the way that we know it’s the way that we know it’s the waythatweknow
To live by the sea is to be closer with death
(it’s a giving not a taking it’s a giving not a taking)
