Lyrics
We're looking out to sea, you and I, my love. You're about to walk away, and no pretty words of mine will stop you. If I believed in that stuff, I'd say "We were meant to be" But I've long since turned away from teleology. It feels like you're the one but these claims are surely fairytales. I've got to be consistent. Joy and hope glowed through my thin skin. All my understatement couldn't hide it, couldn't hold it in. And now-- well, what can I say. I'll stop talking now, and prepare for the new paradigm- Jagged nights with our friends, who'll look away when my sleeve catches on the heartbreak. Joy and hope glowed through my thin skin. All my understatement couldn't hide it, couldn't hold it in. And now-- well, what can I say. We're looking out to sea, you and I, my love. You're about to walk away, and no pretty words of mine will stop you. Don't worry, I won't ask you again, "don't walk away"...
