Sea Legs - the Shins

Of all the churning random hearts

Under the sun

Eventually fading into night,

These two are opening now

As we lie, I touch you

Under fuller light.

Girl, if you’re a seascape

I’m a listing boat, for the thing carries every hope.

I invest in a single lie.

The choice is yours to be loved

Come away from an emptier boat.

'Cause when the dead moon

Rises again

We’ve no time to start a protocol

To have us in.

And when the dog slides

Underneath a train,

There’s no cry, no use to searching for

What mutts remain.

Throw all consequence aside

The chill aspire, people set alight.

Of all the intersecting lines in the sand

I routed a labyrinth to your lap.

I never used a map sliding off the land

On an incidental tide,

And along the way you know, they try

They try.

And we got sea legs

And we’re off tonight

Can I’ve that to which they’ve no right?

You belong to a simpler time

I’m a victim to the impact of these words,

And this rhyme.

'Cause when that dead moon

Rises again

We’ve no time to start a protocol

To have us in.

And when the dog slides,

Open the door, and where’d she go?

There’s no time, no use to searching for

The mutts remains.

Throw consequence aside

And the chill aspire, people set alight.
