Beach Day Lyrics

One wave crashes on top of another

They both collapse

In the distance she stands on top of the surface

Past the point of overlap

White dress

Brown hair rippling

Being pulled out by the current

Slowly

How do those seagulls float without effort

Why can't I do that

Does this water move without pressure

And if it's warm why is my skin so cold

Slowly

She drifts away

Slowly

I wanted to run out into the ocean

In my loafers and my slacks

Burning heat on my calves

And just keep going

Out and out

Till we touch

Slowly

She floats away

Slowly

In the distance she stands on top of the surface

Past the point of overlap

White dress

Brown hair dripping

There's a hole in the sky where the moon should be

She keeps turning around,

I keep losing the image

When it's all I've been trying to see

So I threw myself past the ankle deep

Kicking ripples I ran through

I want her to kiss me

At least I think, but we didn't
