How Many Times

[Chorus] How many times must I throw the line Before this tiny ship comes crashing to the shore? Tell me, how many times must I say goodbye Before I start believing it for sure? [Verse 1] When one of you gets word of what I do It shall be forgone That pretty soon you all will know the tune I've been screaming from the gutter for so long [Pre-Chorus 1] And pretty blue, the sky from which you flew I saw your dive Over time Filled with circles in my mind [Chorus] So how many times must I throw the line Before this tiny ship comes crashing to the shore? Tell me, how many times must I say goodbye Before I start believing it for sure? [Verse 2] I misconstrue so much I see right through Love's great rewards I make things up and blur the lines and such That telling me won't matter anymore [Pre-Chorus 2] Through dizzy blue, the ground comes into view I'm still alive Despite time All the circles in my mind [Chorus] So how many times must I throw the line Before this tiny ship comes crashing to the shore? Tell me, how many times must I say goodbye Before I lose my fear of thinking I'm too late to hear it anymore [Verse 3] Before the wind Before the oxygen that kills us from within This world had lost its way The murmuring decay just fills our heads Tell me how [Pre-Chorus 3] I misconstrue so much I never knew I caused your dive Over time Filled with circles in my mind
