palms Lyrics

Cozumel calling

And I call home

The bottom of a shot

Tequila sundown

Lines in my hand

Sway this way and that like

Fronds of the palms

You take your leave

But not of all of me

Down in the blue water

You're swimming in the sea and

It's clear to all to see that

I'm still in your head

Even here and now

Another night in separation

Detach from the action and celebration

Slip away and aim to reconnect

Interlock fingers, palm to palm

(Can I call this off?)

Lines in the sand

The silence is heavy but understood

Worrying about it won't do any good

You've taken your leave

But not of all of me

Down in the blue water

You're swimming in the sea

Is there still space for me to

Be on your mind tonight

Or will you forget about us?

Will you forget about all of this

The Mexican sun descends

The jubilance soon to end

You will return

Oh, this bottle,

Empty now on the floor, head in hands

While you are whisked away on the shifting sands

Thousands and thousands of miles

From where I wish you were now

Oh, down in the blue water

I'm swimming in your sea

Is there still space in your heart for me?

Down in the blue ocean

Overcome with the waves of emotion

This feeling is heavy, this feeling is real

So how do you feel?

I squeeze the lime

And lick the salt

From the back of my hand

Oh, what a mess

I find myself immersed in

Deep blue water,

Another shot deeper

Into the ocean,

Into another endless drift dive

Down, down in the blue water

I'm swimming in your sea

Is there still space in your heart for me?

Down in the blue ocean

Overcome with the waves of emotion

This feeling is heavy, this feeling is real

So how do you feel?

Down, down in the blue water

I'm drowning in your sea

Sweep me away

Nothing numbs the pain

Quite like your sweet smile

Down, down at the bottom

Looking up for light

But there's no hope to find

No sweet kiss to rise

And let me take and breathe you in
