Lyrics
"This is called From the Edge of the Deep Blue Sea"
Every time we do this, I fall for her
Wave after wave after wave, it's all for her
"I know this can't be wrong," I say
I'll lie to keep her happy as long as I know that you know
Today I belong right here with you, right here with you
And so we watch the sun come up
From the edge of the deep green sea
She listens like her head's on fire
Like she wants to believe in me
So I try put your hands in the sky
Surrender, remember
We will be here forever and never say goodbye
I've never been so colorfully see through head before
I've never been, never been
So wonderfully me you want some more
And all I want is to keep it like this
You and me alone, a secret kiss
And don't go home, don't go away
Don't let this end, please stay
Not just for today
Never, never, never, never, never, never let me go, she says
Hold me like this for a hundred thousand million days
Suddenly she slows, looks down at my breaking face
Why do you cry, what did I say?
But it's just rain, she smiles, brushing my tears away
I wish I could just stop
I know another moment will break my heart
Too many tears, too many times
Too many years I've cried over you, over you, over you
How much more can we use it up?
Drink it dry, take this drug?
Looking for something forever gone
But something we will always want
Why, why, why are you letting me go?, she says
I feel you pulling back, I feel you changing shape
Just as I'm breaking free, she hangs herself in front of me
Slips her dress like a flag to the floor and hands in the sky, surrenders it all
I wish I could just stop
I know another moment will break my heart
Too many tears, too many times
Too many years I've cried for you
It's always the same, wake up in the rain
Head in pain, hung in shame
A different name, same old game, love in vain
And miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles away from home again
