shut up i'm dreaming of places where lovers have wings
You're on the distant shore You're on the distant shore Oceans never listen to us anyway Oceans never listen to us anyway And if I fall into the drink I will say your name before I sink
He says your name out loud In miniature rooms where no one's found It's a desperate sound You're on the distant shore And he stamps his feet down Do you hear his knuckles on your door He wants to send you drawings Drawings of men with faithful hands They will make such good boyfriends And he wants to tell you stories Stories of boys who stamp their feet Saying, Shut, shut up I am dreaming of places where lovers have wings
I'll meet you where the river forks, when everyone else is dead you'll be safe on the water, we will be much younger and we remember You're on the distant shore I stamp my feet down, down, do you hear my knuckles on your door, do you understand what I'm pining for? But oceans never listen to us anyway Oceans never listen to us anyway And if I fall into the drink I will say your name before I sink But oceans never listen to us anyway
I'm afraid of the water I'm afraid of the sky I'm tired of waiting Oceans never listen to us anyway Oceans never listen to us anyway And if I fall into the drink I will say your name before I sink Oceans never listen to us anyway So don't make a sound Don't make a sound
