lyrics

You were so brave and you were so fine.
You were the one who braved it all.
You made us believe that we could be tall like them.
You were the one that told me to sing.
You were the one that made me bring.
Flowers to your bedside table. Now you’re asleep.

A crack in my rib and I’m not awake.
A crack in my rib and it’s a mistake.
A crack in my rib that’s causing me to breathe.

It’s back and forth and back and forth and back and forth again.
It’s back and forth and back and forth and back and forth again.

I had a dream and I thought you were in it.
And you were an Eskimo and I was Inuit.
We were the same. We were not from there.
You kicked and you screamed and you pushed me aside.
And you said get out and find your own ride.
Why oh why can we not ride together.

So I waited for you by the side of the road.
Wishing you would drive by real slow and see the desperation I have inside.
I wanted you to pick me up. Dust me off and lick me up.
Nurture me like I was a little man.
I’m a little man and you’re a big wave.
And I can’t surf but I could be saved.
But this will work in the end I know.

So it’s back and forth and back and forth and back and forth again.
It’s back and forth and back and forth and back and forth again.

We ran away to Memphis Tennessee and we were there I think there was three.
Well we needed a fourth but where were you.
We put up signs all around town and we said we think our friend may have drowned.
But if that’s true I hope they don’t find you.

I have this image of you in my head.
There’s seaweed everywhere and you’re bloated and dead.
I’m not sure I want this dream anymore.

Back and forth and back and forth and back and forth again.
