Lyrics

[Intro]

When I was older

I was a sailor

On an open sea

But now, I'm under water

And my skin is paler

Than it should ever be

[Verse 1]

I'm on my back again

Dreaming of a time and place

Where you and I remain the best of friends

Even after all this ends

Can we pretend?

[Verse 2]

I'm on my

I'm on my back again

It's seeming more and more like all we ever do is see how far it bends

Before it breaks in half, and then

We bend it back again

[Verse 3]

Guess I got caught in the middle of it

Yes, I've been taught, got a little of it

In my blood

In my blood

Memories burn like a forest fire

Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud

In the flood

[Chorus]

When I was older

I was a sailor

On an open sea

But now, I'm underwater

And my skin is paler

Than it should ever be

[Verse 4]

I'm watching movies back to back in black and white, I never

Seen anybody do it like I do it any better

Been goin' over you, I'm overdue for new endeavors

Nobody lonely like I'm lonely, and I don't know whether

You'd really like it in the limelight

You'd sympathize with all the bad guys

I'm still a victim in my own right

But I'm the villain in my own eyes, yeah

[Outro]

When I was older

I was a sailor

On an open sea
