In Shallow Seas We Sail

I’ve got eyes in the back of my head
and I see where you’re going with this... (going with this)
I’m not surprised.

You take me for a fool,
maybe you’re right.
If I was wiser I would not have let myself come here
tonight.

You sold yourself, (Sold yourself)
you’ll never learn
and here I am
watching the summer fading (And summer we shared fade away with the winter.)
Your hands were warm
on my face, (Hands were warm)
now they’re cold and pushing away slowly away. (Now they’re colder than ice and they are slowly)
pushing me away...
pushing me away.

I knew it...(I knew it) right from the start.
I’ve got this big, big hole in my heart.
I wanted...(I wanted) to put you in,
but for some reason you just wouldn’t fit...
you just wouldn’t fit.

You sold yourself, (Sold yourself)
you’ll never learn
and here I am
watching the summer fading (And summer we shared fade away with the winter.)
Your hands were warm (Hands were warm)
on my face,
now they’re cold and pushing away slowly away. (Now they’re colder than ice and they are slowly)
pushing me away...
pushing me away...
pushing me away.

Lust can give a man so many regrets.
Just this once is what we tell ourselves.

Ships don’t sink
if they have wind in their sails,
but if the wind fails, is there hope for me?
I guess your love was only as safe... (I thought your love was as safe... )
...as the promise you made. (...as the promise you made. )

Now I am drowning in your shallow sea,
I swear, you are the waves that toss me away.
(You are the storm, the wind and the waves that break me in two and toss me away. I fell apart when I fell for you.)

How can I float above the water that fills my lungs,
killing me softly without a word.
(You are the water filling my lungs, killing me softly without a word... without a word.)
