lyrics

seashells and parasails • while the water brought her further from you • we worked down here in the dark so the water wouldn't rise up in you • sail on • feel like the wind • though you walk alone we sever ties within • I feel like I'm the only one that caught the illusion of 'I' buried in the wake of all our lies • and nothing lasts at all • I'll come back home • and tell you all that I'm the answer I've been waiting for • and when the world's as clear as the water • tell me what you're waiting for • now here's a light • and I'll burn bright because nothing else is real in life after all but right now • and how do we differentiate when the separation lies within you • sail on • feel like the wind • though you walk alone we sever ties within • I feel like I'm the only one that caught the illusion of 'I' buried in the wake of all our lies • and nothing lasts at all • along the coasts of all our lives we made decisions to divide the water from the rock • these from those • father from the son • the sea from the foam and the storm from the calm • and hearing all the words • and feeling the waves crash down • is causing us to worry about the water and where it goes when we close our eyes • eyes can deceive • mind can unfurl • take it from me there's nothing the matter with this world • and I'll come back home • and tell you all that I'm the answer I've been waiting for • and when the world's as clear as the water • tell me what you're waiting for • now here's a light • and I'll burn bright because • and when the world's as clear as the water • tell me what you're waiting for • now here's a light • and I'll burn bright because nothing else is real in life after all but right now
