Just tried to sleep in the weight of the ocean
Position myself under the salt of love
Sorting out the meaning in what I'm deprived of
I'm more than an appendage, romanticized
Sifting through the petals
Let your body unwind
If he dares to put a rip into that prom dress
Press your gun to his chest
Might the fear of God strike one half of a man
Who could never learn by and by
Could never fault her
Just tried to claim her
Just tried to sleep in the weight of the ocean
Never turned true blue
Just tried to hold you
Just tried to sleep in the weight of the ocean
Everything in everyone is far too loud
Patience in the wine, press your ear to my mouth
Lunge across the car if it feels right
Weary from the headaches and your family's insides
The pattern of a bad phase
Aching for the one who taught love in the first place
To a father's son
Try to keep my heart closed
From surely beating up anyone
Could never fault her
Just tried to claim her
Just tried to sleep in the weight of the ocean
Never turned true blue
Just tried to hold you
Just tried to sleep in the weight of the ocean
Surviving innocence, cleanse me of all my sins
How vacant is heaven right now
Slow blooming in the shade
I promise to appreciate
All of the holidays in the United States
