lyrics

Could you tell me again
what you hoped you'd found in me
throwing stones from the pier
cursing all the damn lights

Was it just something new
or did something else speak to you
carry you to my side
throwing stones to the tide

It didn't matter much to me what you thought I was headed towards
It didn't matter much to you where I thought you were

We were safe behind the masks of everybody we knew before
And we were burning through the blues we could never wash away

I don't remember what you said, made me life til my stomach turned
But I remember how you looked, oh it's all I really see these days

In that seafront town, oh the man by the shore used to run this place
now he sits all alone, watching ships fade to the sea.
An the nights we spent, tearing page after page from our memories
maybe you took the best of me
we had the world at our feet

So could you ask me again
will I really remember you
will I come back around for you
does the bracelet look good on you

See I get overwhelmed
I know I never gave an answer then
and I'm aware of the consequence of every word I never said

But I don't carry much regret, I'm just glad you said hi to me
Beneath that late summer sky and those damn neon lights

In that seafront town, oh the man by the shore used to run this place
now he sits all alone, watching ships fade to the sea.
And the nights we spent, tearing page after page from our memories
maybe you took the best of me
we had the world at our feet

We had the world at our feet
