lyrics

When I awoke, I was lying in the sand
with a hole in front of me
Bout the size of my head
I brushed off my beard,
Wiped a tear and took one last look at the sea
Then walked home from the beach

Who knew
You could lose yourself so quickly
In a few short years
You hear someone else's words
in your mouth as you speak
But they fit like crooked teeth

I'm mad at myself for believing the ink
thinking and dreaming aloud
letting my feet leave the ground
and ending up here
where it's clear that I took it too far
and some love is better left at the bar

But you're just like me love
You're just like me
You hate being wrong
about anything

So we had to pretend this was something so grand
Our heavy hearts and scars were part of the plan
We lied to you love, we lied to me
