Diving for pearls Lyrics

Trying to get back to my life

A life so deep in shades of blue

A world of me, a world of you

And I know that you're afraid of silence

And I know there's nothing more that I can say

To you my words are tinged with violence

Is there some place where we can just divide

Take our good selves, the rest can go and hide

Through purple travel back to blue

To the old world, to my old self and renew

I guess I'm just a lonely boy trying to make my way through the world

My mama said "Don't you go diving for pearls"

Sitting down to write to these words

Words I know will never ring true

To the cynics inside of you

There's a world I know without forgiveness

Burning down this once happy home

Your lies feel like an act of kindness

Is there some place where I can just reset

Say I'm sorry, drift off and forget

Colour changes, we shift from blue to red

Hope it lingers, hiding beneath our bed

I guess I'm just a foolish boy trying to get a date with a girl

My mama said "Don't you go diving for pearls"

A chance, an ideal, I fall, broken in two, hatch something new

It's not that lost on me, the cold irony

The hope that I can be what you need, not what you see

I guess I'm just an old-school man ironically listening to Wham!

My mama said "You gotta be a modern man"
