It's not your sure lack of poise
I just don't believe in anything anymore
Not my heart or it's beat or these feet as I run to the coast
To help rescue my hope
It's drowning there, soaking wet, slowly peeling away like a cardboard box in the rain
Take aim slightly tilt your head close your left eye and then draw back on your breath, puff your chest and just fire away
This is young love
This is romance
But we can't change anything my love to make a difference
We're fried, we've been out in the sun too long
Explosions and guns
Enter the warm winds and the rain oh sunny days
You know it hurts like hell when your compass melts
And you don't know how to make it back to base
Tell the others I'm safe tell them I found myself with a little help from the raft they built on the bottom hill of the lake
Oh jesus christ tell me where is your light
Don't leave me kicking in the ocean and the night
My heavy bones will tame my fight as the salt water meets the whites of my eyes
24 and still scared of what it takes to be alive... but I'm even more afraid what it takes to die
