I was born and raised at the beach
The sun was never far from my reach
I grew attatched to the f**ing sand
Wrinkles took over my two hands
Man I loved the waves
We'd watch and wait for the sun to rise
Shed some light into my blue sky
Oh my, I loved the waves
We went back and forth, back and forth,
Wanted to go south to shore, but went north
We went forth and back, forth and back,
Never understood why you didn't come back
Until now
Back to the beach house,
You wore that nice white blouse,
I guess I went too fast
We both crashed and f**ed on the backyard sand
So hard you couldn't stand
Saw the sweat coming from the glands
We both tanned
It was totally unplanned
But I liked surprises
We layed there paralyzed
I memorized the pattern of your heartbeat
I guess you tried to be discreet
Cause I was never much into disguises
But you had me hypnotized, I didn't mind it
We were out so long we saw the sun set and rise
I found out who you really are and now I'm traumatized
My heart and mind have both capsized
I can't believe I wanted you to stay
My skies have turned to skewed hues of gray
Now I'm drowning in booze
And my tasteful tears too,
There's your cue
Pursue the dreams that I anchored you down from,
I guess you found one,
Because all you left was a letter,
It said you've found someone better,
I'm severed, but still, I love the waves
You threw your things out through the window
I saw it through the panes
I hid my pain with the vain smile that's stained on my plain face,
I'm a disgrace,
You packed up the rental, tried to be gentle but I know damn well that I have been replaced,
Put in second place,
Tried to erase you from my mind,
But from my friends I am reminded
They speak about you in malign,
Oh my, I still, love the waves
We went back and forth back and forth,
Wanted to go south to shore but went north,
We went forth and back, forth and back,
You're gonna make me have a heart attack,
Since you left I've been a mess,
Let my stress get the best of me,
I confess, you've really put me to the test,
Rarely have any guests over, forgot what it's like to be sober,
Wow, I let the waves control me
But they don't own me,
Now my sky is pitch black
My clothes still reek of lilac
I'm still attatched,
I've developed a knack to chainsmoke,
Dead calm days on the bay doing backstrokes
Casted away on my watery grave
Today the waves swept me away
(ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh)
