Seaweed Sheets - Astronautalis

Amongst the tires and broken trees

All washed up on rubble beach

You were the best lover I never loved

Tucked beneath the seaweed sheets

Little scraps of shells and sand caked around your shaky hand

As the little fingertips slide inside my belt loop again

Your matted hair and sappy stare lost inside the haze of the sun

Stumbling in a three legged race

You lean on me the whole way back home

You can never guess what you find washed up on a shore

On the sunny day after a storm

I left her there in bed that day

To watch a hotel hauled away on the back of trucks

Among stacks of bricks, lithographs of seaside scenes

Flap in the breeze the canvas ripped

I guess I’m scared to wake up next to her

Or maybe I’m too scared to ever fall asleep

Comfortably coiled in a tide pool at the edge of the beach

I watch the world wake up as the sun leaves a land of the stucco bleached

My stomach rocks with waves, a smile is tossed on my face

Cement feet drag me neck deep, sometimes a bit of trouble is great

We, we lost it all again

Till everything came back again

Floating in, floating in

We, we lost it all again

Till everything came back again

Floating in, floating in

We never leave a ransom

We fill your car wash up with drugs

We drink our beer in the shower

We leave your house without locking up

Round here the days are just packed

With same smirking faces and the same haircuts

The city’s a boarding school with rigid hemlines and golden rules

A grid of pictures yellow light highlighting chosen few

Look we made the news again, me and my old friends… YEAH RIGHT!

I’m sick, she’s a communist, he’s pissed were all monuments

To the greatest hair-dos of the modern age

Lets escape, we can smoke cigarettes and comb the woods for dirty magazines

Sneak out ruin or shoes and hide from no one inside the (BREATH)

When they fill us in on exactly what me missed

We’ll never talk about the nervous little breaths

Tomorrow when we’re retracing our all our shaky little steps

We’ll never tell a soul that we kissed

We’ll never tell a soul that we kissed

We’ll never tell a soul that we kissed

We’ll never tell a soul that we kissed

We’ll never tell a soul about this

We, we lost it all again

Till everything came back again

Floating in, floating in

We, we lost it all again

Till everything came back again

Floating in, floating in

We, we lost it all again

Till everything came back again

Floating in, floating in

We, we lost it all again

Till everything came back again

Floating in, floating in, floating in, floating in

We washed our feet in the ocean but they never came clean

I picked some sand up in my hand to watch it all leave

The wrecking ball did fall, you kissed me on the mouth

We rolled around in your sandy bed… until I finally snuck out

We lost a lot in that hurricane, again till everything came back again…

Floating in, floating in, floating in, floating in

We washed our feet in the ocean but they never came clean

I picked some sand up in my hand to watch it all leave

The wrecking ball did fall, you kissed me on the mouth

We rolled around in your sandy bed… until I finally snuck out

We lost a lot in that hurricane, again till everything came back again…

Floating in, floating in, floating in, floating in

We washed our feet in the ocean but they never came clean.

(We, we lost it all

again)

I picked some sand up in my hand to watch it all leave

The wrecking ball did fall, you kissed me on the mouth, (We, we lost it all

again)

We rolled around in your sandy bed… until I finally snuck out

We lost a lot in that hurricane, again till everything came back again…

(We, we lost it all again)

Floating in, floating in, floating in, floating in

We washed our feet in the ocean but they never came clean.

(We, we lost it all

again)

I picked some sand up in my hand to watch it all leave

The wrecking ball did fall, you kissed me on the mouth, (We, we lost it all

again)

We rolled around in your sandy bed… until I finally snuck out

We lost a lot in that hurricane, again till everything came back again…

(We, we lost it all again)

Floating in, floating in, floating in, floating in

We washed our feet in the ocean but they never came clean.

(We, we lost it all

again…)
