Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This better be something great
Clench your jaw till your teeth ache
If the building doesn't sway then the concrete's gonna break
You need to connect the dots
And find out where I got this from
In that time I could have died and felt perfectly alive
[Chorus]
There are shells in the water and birds underneath
Done enough in my life to deserve the air I breathe
Now sadness this time could not mean anything to me
So I'll just sleep with a gun
[Verse 2]
My boat's out in the desert
At least it's out of my drive
There are things I wish I remembered that get lost to time
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your knuckles
And the whites will fade and your grip will suffer
[Chorus]
There are shells in the water and birds underneath
Done enough in my life to deserve the air I breathe
Now sadness this time could not mean anything to me
So I'll just sleep with a gun
[Verse 3]
Parts of me love every part you don't
Structures struck up to the wind
And all of time has gone
Go and tell anyone who hears
Find your love and find me here
[Chorus]
There are shells in the water and birds underneath
Done enough in my life to deserve the air I breathe
Now sadness this time could not mean anything to me
So I'll just sleep with a gun
