Gettin´ deep
I´m out of my depth at a public beach
I never listened, I had to see for myself
It´s comin´ in waves

Shoots through my mind like a pinball stray
Friendly fire, point-blank

Salt in my lungs
Holdin´ my breath
Makin´ peace with my inevitable death

I guess I did alright considering
Tried to be a halfway decent friend
Wound up a bad comedian
An honest fool with more bad habits
Than you can count

There we were
Was anyone ever so young?

Breakin´ curfew with illegal fireworks
Unpackin´ God in the suburbs

I´m swimmin´ back
See, you don´t have to make it bad
Just ´cause you know how

Writin´ the words
To the worst love song you´ve ever heard
Soundin´ out the foreign characters
An incantation like an anti-curse
Or even a blessing
