You keep telling me I'm beautiful
But I feel a little less so each time
Your love is so colorful

It flashes like a neon sign
But I finally drove out where
The sky is dark enough to see stars

And I found I missed no one
Just listening to the swishing of distant cars


I hope I never see
The ocean again
Pushing and pulling at me

As I go deeper and deeper in
Til I'm so far from my shore
So far from what I came here for

I let you surround me
I let you drown me
Out with your din

And then I learned how to swim

I was floating above myself

Watching her do just what you wanted
Poor little friendly ghost
Wondering why her whole house feels haunted

I told myself I was strong enuf
That I had plenty of blood to give
And each elbow cradled a needle

But listless and faint ain't no way to live

So I hope I never see

The ocean again
Pushing and pulling at me
As I go deeper and deeper in

Til I'm so far from my shore
So far from what I came here for
I let you surround me

I let you drown me
Out with your din
And then I learned how to swim


You keep telling me I'm beautiful
But I feel a little less so each time

Your love is so colorful
It flashes like a neon sign
But I finally drove out where

The sky is dark enough to see stars
And I found I missed no one
Just listening to the swishing of distant cars
