lyrics

with our bodies all wrong but shining
silhouetted in the daybreak
we don’t get along with our brains
but i get along with you

endless policy hangs over our heads
like a grey sky
but here’s the only place
i feel i can act a fool

with you
with you

it shouldn’t burn like this
the sting of seasalt and the fading sunlight
we didn’t take enough
pictures of the view

when good things happen i feel guilty
when bad things happen i feel worse
and we don’t get along with our brains
but i get along with you

i think the sea found us
(floundering lost in the wind)
i think the sea found us
(and so the adventure begins)
i thank the sea for us
(one day we’ll all be stories)
i thank the sea for us

when is a sunset more than a sunset
more than its molecules
maybe when we’re
more than our bodies allow

and we’re building sandcastles to
pretend we don’t have homes to return to-
lion’s dens, and all my friends are waiting
patient in the blue

for you
for you

breaking into silences
paragraphs stuck in my throat like a cough drop
nothing like the first time like
the last time you say goodbye

heart bigger than the border;
it’s goodbye but not forever, and we stand in the surf
it doesn't hurt
for once in a while

i think the city found us
(floundering lost in the wind)
i think the city found us
(and so the adventure begins)
i thank the city for us
(one day we’ll all be stories)
i thank the city for us

i think the sea found us
(floundering lost in the wind)
i think the sea found us
(and so the adventure begins)
i thank the sea for us
(one day we’ll all be stories)
i thank the sea for us

i thank all my friends for us
it was only a matter of time
