Seaside

[Verse 1]

We dance on wet pavements

Swim in puddles with sharks

I'll hold you so closely as they wrap their jaws around me

I’ll sing you to sleep, my love

And hold the boombox on my shoulder

I will carry these boulders

Sing it all out loud, say, "I love you" from the crowd

You won't look and I'll just play

[Chorus]

Sitting pretty by the seaside

Throwing rocks at passersby

I just want you to notice when I’m not around

I want the absence to feel profound

[Verse 2]

You said punch me in the face or I'll do it for you

Right here, right now I wanna see my lights knocked out

You had a black eye for weeks, you had a story for months

We've got confessions for years with the names blacked out

Kill your ambitions or we'll do it for you

Kill your darlings 'cause they'll never hold you like us

These words on repeat are all we need

Are all we need

[Chorus]

Sitting pretty by the seaside

Throwing rocks at passersby

I just want you to notice when I'm not around

I want the absence to feel profound

Sitting pretty on your queen-sized bed

Watching your neighbour crawl under the garden fence

We'll sing I can’t help falling in love

Again and again till it means nothing again

[Bridge]

Everyone’s getting older

Everything feels that much colder

And I don't know if I’ve got the same skin that I wore

When we first put pen to paper, wrote some songs about the weather

Everyone's getting older

Everything feels that much colder

And I don't know if I've got the same skin that I wore

When we first put pen to paper, wrote some songs about the weather

[Chorus]

Sitting pretty by the seaside

And throwing rocks at passersby

I just want you to notice when I’m not around

I want the absence to feel profound

Sitting pretty on your queen-sized bed

Watching your neighbour crawl under the garden fence

We'll sing I can't help falling in love

Again and again till it means nothing again
