Lyrics

Sea legs

Of all the churning random hearts
Under the sun
Eventually fading into night
These two are opening now
As we lie, I touch you
Wonderful alive

Girl, if you're a seascape
I'm a listing boat, for the thing carries every hope
I invest in a single life
The choice is yours to be loved
Come away from it empty of... but us

'Cause when the dead moon
Rises again
Be no time to stall or protocol
To hem us in
And when the dog slides
Underneath a train
There's no cry, 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
And never used a map sliding off the land
On an incidental tide
And along the way you know, they tried
They tried

But we got sea legs
And we're off tonight
They 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 that dead moon
Rises again
We've 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 in searching for
The mutt's remains

Throw all consequence aside
And a cheerless pyre we will set alight
