Out to the sea I throw my dreams It will bring them back to me Me and my friend, time suspends We are seventeen. I don’t know my name, don’t know the time But I know I’m here And I’m gonna watch the sun go down
Chorus In the middle of nowhere I know myself And if the barrel is empty I am very well, very well In the middle of nowhere I know myself What’s a barrel a week? What’s a barrel a week...
And now from the grave I hear my Ma She is calling to me Baby be brave, baby be hard This is how you must be So that is why I live my life Like my days are dying And I never turn out the light.
Repeat Chorus
At the end of the night I close my eyes And I hear these voices “Ella be cool, Ella be wise, you make clever choices” So that is why I live my life Like there’s no tomorrow And I’m gonna watch the sun come up
