Lyrics

The Sea

I never knew you were standing on this shore
It says everything
Explains everything
And then from then on it couldn't be just like before
It says everything
Changes everything

So don't just stand there wishing life would fade away
Don't you go around with anyone
That makes you feel ashamed

Goodbye, paradise
I hope that someday you could try
Goodbye, you're so changed that you'd give it all away
Goodbye, goodbye

Saw your face in a faded light
Said everything
Explained everything
At home, saw your daze, and it comes to you and I
You did everything
Blamed anything

But don't you cut those ribbons
To take away the pain
Don't you go around with that same old crowd
That makes you feel ashamed

Goodbye, paradise
I hope there's something you could try
Goodbye, but you're so changed that you give it all away
Goodbye, goodbye, paradise

The sea
The majestic sea
Breaks everything
Crushes everything
Cleans everything
Takes everything from me
