lyrics

DEMETRI DOESN'T KNOW
HIS HEART’S NOT IN THE SEA
IT WASHED ASHORE
WITH SOME
WHALE BONE DEBRIS
AND LYN COULDN'T HANDLE
HOLDING LIFE BACK TO A GRIN
SO SHE
FOCUSED ON THE
THE BEST KINDS OF SIN

WRITING
AND WRITHING
OVER EVERY OTHER WORD
YOU BOIL DOWN THE OCEAN

LIVE ILLEGIBLE
WITH A SMILE INDELIBLE
SINGING WORDS WE DON'T-
SINGING WORDS WE DON'T NEED
LIVE ILLEGIBLE
WITH A SMILE INDELIBLE
SINGING WORDS WE DON'T-
SINGING WORDS WE DON'T NEED

THE TEXT BLURS TO BUILDINGS
A BREEZE BLOWING IN THEIR SHADE
SENTENCES
FLY AWAY AS
TORN PAGES FADE

DEMETRI AND LYN
KNEW JUST WHERE YOU'D BE
SO THEY
CROSSED THEIR FINGERS
AND HOPE YOU COME TO SEE
THEY HOPE YOU COME TO SEE
OH WON’T YOU COME TO SEE
