Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Standing on the shore, facing East
I can't feel you
[Verse 2]
Standing on the shore, facing East
Your impermanence
You're taking water
Listing lazily out of view
[Verse 3]
I remember when we were friends
I remember calling you friend
[Verse 4]
Standing on the shore my ear aimed East
I can't hear you
I can't hear you anymore
I can't hear you
I can't hear you anymore
[Verse 5]
I still remember
Laughing and fighting
I still remember
[Verse 6]
Standing on the shore, watching for you
You're painted into a corner
Whatever fits in your pockets; you'll get your due
Just like before
With all the others
[Verse 7]
You warned me about the cocaine
Then dove straight in
Yeah, you warned me about the cocaine
Then dove straight in
[Verse 8]
In hiding, where there's more for you
[Verse 9]
There's more for you
There's more for you
There's more for you
There's more for you
[Verse 10]
There's more for you
There's more for you
There's more for you
There's more for you
[Verse 11]
There's more for you
There's more for you
There's more for you
There's more for you
[Verse 12]
There's more for you
There's more for you
There's more for you
There's more for you
[Verse 13]
There's more for you
There's more for you
There's more for you
[Verse 14]
Standing on the shore, getting off
You left me here with the vape clouds
I must admit I missed the mountain
But not so much you
[Verse 15]
One step forward
One step forward
One step forward
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
[Verse 16]
Standing on the floor, facing you
I can't see you, your impermanence
This place is empty
Empty of you
[Verse 17]
And if I see you, it's like nothing went wrong
Yeah, if we meet again tomorrow, just like nothing went wrong
But they all call
[Verse 18]
Erasing our chances just by asking how we sleep
[Verse 19]
One step forward
One step forward
One step forward
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
