lyrics

black water outside above the sunrise
blue sea earth side in her green eyes
wait there for a minute 'till you realize
this one could be your last sunrise

they called from the shore of the ocean
cold water against your skin
looked out at the blue horizon
stark line where the sky begins

her voice got smaller and smaller
as the current pulled you in
death fight with a hungry monster
you wouldn't let the ocean win

she watched from a beach towel blanket
melted popsicle in her hand
you left with breath in your lungs
and left footprints in the burning sand

black water outside above the sunrise
blue sea at the edge of the cold sky
look out and tell yourself the old lies
tell yourself that this won't make you cry

they called from a concrete city
calm, collected like they know they should be
you look at a picture beside you
textured sand, the expanse of the sea

heard static tear through your helmet
you shout to the vacuum and its vacancy
there's no one left but you
so why can't the sky just leave you be

you swam out farther than you've been before
you don't feel scared anymore
just sore from the struggle and the wonder
that reckless human need to explore

two years, tears shed for red sand
wonder how it'll feel when the ship lands
hold on, this isn't what we planned
understand, i meant it to work
my fears are calmed by a cold hand
calculate the distance, wait for an impact
milliseconds measure the time it takes to act
too slow, hope you understand

you left with breath in your lungs
outside above the sun
you left with breath in your lungs
outside above the sun
