lyrics

Somebody called my name out.
A siren song to a sailor of some sort.
Initially full of promise.
Why do we keep on walking the same walk?

You sought me out on a crowded line.
You invested too much hope and not enough time.

Maybe she was right from the off.
Maybe I am denying an inevitable end.
You should stop hanging me from a thread.
Because all the blood has gone to my head.

Something within you changed me.
Empty houses and strange dreams and cold feet.
Why don't you turn around while I reveal
My naked body and frozen purity?

You shouldn't talk about future plans
If you can't step up and be a man.

Maybe she was right from the off.
Maybe I am denying an inevitable end.
You should stop hanging me from a thread.
Because all the blood has gone to my head.

"The world's your oyster."
But I never liked seafood very much.
"These are your tools."
But I can't open the box.
"This is your page."
But I think I might have the fear.

Maybe we'll be fine. Maybe all we need is the other side.
