Shipwreck Sea

from I Want to Hold It So Close by B Pictures

/

lyrics

You’re wet and kissing burning stars
From the cruelty of my swinging heart
Swimming toward the jagged shore
You look for the gift and then you look for more
On my swinging heart
On my swinging heart

A feeling not to be confused with pain
Exorcise the demon again
I’ve had some thoughts I can’t say they’re all good
The worst of which I’m leaving to you
And your swinging heart
And your swinging heart

Swinging hearts so carelessly
Swing toward what will not be

From these shallow graves we rise
Slippery wisdom on the carpet lies
To miss the boat, duck the clock
Those hard burning stars have electric shock
On our swinging hearts
On our swinging hearts
Swinging hearts so carelessly
Swing toward what will not be
Back and forth on a shipwreck sea
Ever toward what will not be
Ever toward what will not be
