To lay my head on a stranger's chest
An island of bones
To make this ocean feel like home
See I've been figuring out
How much I've come to turn things down
For fear of spilling out
For fear of speaking much too loud
To lay my dress on a stranger's bed
A blanket of skin
To keep me warm
To keep me in
See I've been figuring out
How much I've come to turn things down
For fear of spilling out
For fear of speaking much too loud
Now my voice has fallen out
Can you teach me how to shout
Or dissolve me into sound
Of the birds of the bees
Of the murderous waves
As she flees from the scene
To the guiltless embrace
Of the sand of the sea
Now she's all that she was meant to be
I'm so afraid of what she'll think of me
That I can barely breathe
And I can hardly speak
And what if she can't hear me
If I never let her near me
And what if she can't hear me
If I never let her near me
And what if she can't hear me
