not alive but not dead not breathing but not exhaling
seems ive made this bed.. and now my love is failing..
ive bled my eyes dry with the rivers that have poured
so now i beat my heart to die the man falling over board...
man fallin over board
im on shakey seas ladies seems these knees
are trembling from the breeze of the trees
sort of resembling a break down in slow motion
depth of an ocean in this dyin emotion
swimmin through the slimmin sunlight
im tryin to get right without flight
but the heartache from heartbreak seems to steal
seems to partake in keepin me surreal
wanna feel like i belong that im a swan
but instead i feel like im just a pawn
you movin me straight forward
as the boats fall and the rain comes to shore
discoverin whats hoverin in these thoughts
mutterin and stutterin through teardrops
blinkin away the taste in my eyelids
sinkin today in hopes of bein big biz
so i step a little closer to your beauty
only to have you eat me
i stared for days at your face
compaired the ways to your place
only to be turned off like a lightswitch
now im hopin my heart might twitch
cuz it stopped beating to live
when i was offerin you all i had to give
and you told me you were too bored..
throw out the life raft..man fallin over board..
not alive but not dead not breathing but not exhaling
seems ive made this bed.. and now my love is failing..
ive bled my eyes dry with the rivers that have poured
so now i beat my heart to die the man falling over board...
man fallin over board
in this love life ive seen lots of things
bringin strife to beautiful wings
but the train keeps chuggin on tracks
and my brain keeps huggin your backs
as you walk away and the empty hole comes closer
please wont you just run me over
move me two steps to the left
take a few breaths before you heft
then throw me in this lava pit
thats replaced where my heart fit
broken alone waiting for that call
strokin the phone hangin on the wall
ring ring i want it to go so i can say yo
come over and let me put on a show
you aint even gotta say you love me
just tell me if you think im cuddly
ill call you lovely and we can chill
before i set down this meal
i prepared for the both of us to chow
but you flipped it and said chow
then turned about face left my place
at such a fast pace a blur was at your waist
should have known this was happenin
one day it will finally stop matterin
but till then tell me whats the score?
cuz im drownin here.. man fallin over board...
