The Offing - Jason Nolan

One

Two

Three

Four, two, one, two, three, four

And even when it folds don’t hold

That’s what she said when she used to call (she used to call)

And as the cockle sinks, don’t sink, don’t sink for me

And heavy in the sun, don’t run, don’t run

We used to crawl (we used to crawl)

To bottle or bewitch

Don’t switch, don’t swim for me (swim for me, swim for me)

And only in the snow

Don’t go, is what she said but used to stall (she used to stall)

And though its hard to take

Don’t wait, don’t wait for me (wait for me)

Until the curtain calls, don’t call

Don’t call though the beach’s swept away

And though its hard to sleep

Don’t stall, don’t reach for me (reach for me)

I hate when it comes to the fore

Don’t you know that it’s hard to ignore

Don’t you realise I’m here on the floor

Won’t be us soon if there’s one thing for sure

Yes I know that it’s been quite a while

It still hurts when I’m catching your smile

I’ve been walking away now for miles

But I’m still by the shore

Wait, hold stop (I hate when it comes to the fore)

We’ll move from the waves, we’re moving away (don't you know that it’s hard to

ignore)

Don’t tell me, wait, hold, stop (don't you realise I’m here on the floor)

We’ll move from the waves, we’re moving away (won't be us soon if there’s one

thing for sure)

Don’t tell me, wait, hold, stop (yes I know that it’s been quite a while)

We’ll move from the waves, we’re moving away (it still hurts when I’m catching

your smile)

Don’t tell me, wait, hold, stop (I've been walking away now for miles)

We’ll move from the waves, we’re moving away (but I’m still by the shore)

Don’t tell me
