| Days gone by the west coast waves, crash up against the shore
|
| Of a beach I haven’t been to or at least can’t remember no more
|
| My love and constitutions they only get me so far
|
| It doesn’t take but one look up to know how hard it is to reach the stars
|
| And I’ve felt my share of loneliness, still feel it now from time to time
|
| I try to get some rest, these issues tend to fade with morning light
|
| But even if my darkness has decided where it stays
|
| I suppose that I will close my eyes and try to find another way
|
| Is it love that keeps me planted here or the fear of something new
|
| Won’t come along if I leave either way I don’t know what to do
|
| I’ve tried my best to figure out those pieces that I lack
|
| Now I feel all that I’ve lost pulling me back
|
| Oh yes, I feel all that I’ve lost pulling me back
|
| Seashells on the east-coast, find them buried in the sand
|
| Of a beach I haven’t been to but you said you hope one day I can
|
| All the inspirations you’ve amounted in your life they find their way right
|
| back to me through quotes and colors that you live by And is it through the regrets or achievements in your life that you manifest
|
| the compass that will try to steer me in the right
|
| Direction is a funny thing when tides and currents change, it’s a burden that I carry one you’ve carried all the same
|
| Just a number’s number cycling through everything
|
| Finding what escaped you in those days
|
| And it isn’t that I want to live the life you never did
|
| It’s just for my sake I will learn from your mistakes
|
| Oh it’s for my sake I will learn from your mistakes |
