lyrics

Verse

Calm it down, Morrissey when no-one's being good to me, need your empathetic words in my ear,
When the ghosts of past lives are seen, passing through new lives what does it mean?
To be missed, they need not be remembered,
Spirits through the broken glass, we though these ghosts would never pass,
See them held up to the sun, see no reflection,
The ocean stretches vast and wide, the most obscure place to hide, memories of a boy that they once knew,
Maybe that was never truly me or a new wave's how I want to be,
See me crash up on the shores of a new life,
Washed out with the changing tides, not a permanent place to hide,
But close enough so that we can start again,

Chorus

Tell me we'll never die, or that we can't know what's inside,
Tell me, to never cry, but don't frequent, crying yourself,
Tell me to walk these streets, anonymous but never weak,
Tell me whenever we, walk through into the unknown,
We'll set up our camp, and we'll call it home,

Outro

Washed out with the changing tide, not a permanent place to hide,
But close enough so that we can start again
