You keep telling me I'm beautiful But I feel a little less so each time Your love is so colorful It flashes like a neon sign But I finally drove out where The sky is dark enough to see stars And I found I missed no one Just listening to the swishing of distant cars
I hope I never see The ocean again Pushing and pulling at me As I go deeper and deeper in Til I'm so far from my shore So far from what I came here for I let you surround me I let you drown me Out with your din And then I learned how to swim
I was floating above myself Watching her do just what you wanted Poor little friendly ghost Wondering why her whole house feels haunted I told myself I was strong enuf That I had plenty of blood to give And each elbow cradled a needle But listless and faint ain't no way to live
So I hope I never see The ocean again Pushing and pulling at me As I go deeper and deeper in Til I'm so far from my shore So far from what I came here for I let you surround me I let you drown me Out with your din And then I learned how to swim
You keep telling me I'm beautiful But I feel a little less so each time Your love is so colorful It flashes like a neon sign But I finally drove out where The sky is dark enough to see stars And I found I missed no one Just listening to the swishing of distant cars
