When the paddle broke the water I may, I may have made this out of you.
Afloat on the ocean I’m searching my past for a clue.
And I can’t seem to find my new land, dust settles on my hand.
She said she’s dreaming of tigers and swimming in Pakistan
At face off this morning, discussions revolved around the truth.
This coffee tastes bitter, your sugar can’t brighten my mood.
The waitress is all smiles her teeth have seen more cigarettes than my hand.
She said she’s smoking to honour the dead relatives that make our stars collide.
And I’m on up on the runway going to go fight, of course to find you.
I feel so terrible I, I didn’t know about these two.
What did you expect when you’re going to put me down this darker hole.
I’m going to go home, get up I’m going back to work and think about you.
Walking on your foreword and my feet are forward, the feet forward and this is your excuse.
I’m walking wait I‘m walking I’m walking and I’m searching all of these sights and lights.
I can’t find you anywhere I look sick and I wish me away.
She said she’s wandering our streets but she’s been a little unkind.
