When I was older
+
I was a sailor on an open sea
+
But now I'm underwater
+
And my skin is paler than it should ever be
+
Hmm
+
I'm on my back again
+
Dreaming of a time and place
+
Where you and I remain the best of friends
+
Even after all this ends
+
Can we pretend?
+
I'm on my, I'm on my back again
+
It's seeming more and more
+
Like all we ever do is see how far it bends
+
Before it breaks in half and then
+
We bend it back again
+
Guess I got caught in the middle of it
+
Yes I've been taught, got a little of it
+
In my blood, in my blood
+
Memories burn like a forest fire
+
Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud
+
In the flood
+
When I was older
+
I was a sailor on an open sea
+
But now I'm underwater
+
And my skin is paler than it should ever be
+
I'm watching movies back to back in black and white, I never
+
Seen anybody do it like I do it any better
+
I'm goin' over you, I'm overdue for new endeavors
+
Nobody lonely like I'm lonely and I don't know whether
+
You'd really like it in the limelight
+
You'd sympathize with all the bad guys
+
I'm still a victim in my own right
+
But I'm the villain in my own eyes, yeah
+
When I was older
+
I was a sailor on an open sea
