I forgot to talk to you...
The only way I ever knew was a self-inflicted bloody bruise.
Our Father's never failed and in the tree where He was nailed, He left a carving of a lover's tale.
'Cause when I try to think about
What you had and were without
Takes me time to realize
You're always running for our lies
'Cause when you start believing your friends
You lose all sight of the coming end.
I was in the sea
I had mouthfuls of waves in my cheeks, I couldn't breathe
but I could see the shore
all my friends as the wake screamin' for more.
They were screamin' for more, screamin' for more.
Back in France yeah they all say "C'est la vie" and "seize the day!"
but I can't help but think they're all gonna pay.
Taking one step at a time, can't think about it I'll lose my mind.
I tried to find patience, believe me, Lord! I tried.
'Cause when I try to think about
What you had and were without
Takes me time to realize
You're always running for our lives
'Cause when you start believing your friends
You lose all sight of the coming end.
I was in the sea
I had mouthfuls of waves in my cheeks, I couldn't breathe
but I could see the shore
all my friends as the wake screamin' for more.
They were screamin' for more, screamin' for more.
I was on the beach lookin' out at the waves on the sea,
then I screamed.
I couldn't believe all my friends in the waves of the sea,
lookin' at me.
I was out on the shore and they screamed 'cause they wanted more.
Oh 'cause they wanted more!
Oh 'cause they wanted more!
I wanted more.
