Lyrics
The most desolate stretches of highway surround me
When I say I am home
Stretching out like the sorest of arms
Through the heat, reaching to the sea, gasping
Towards a life that was never mine
Towards my ghost in the thickest, darkest pines
Where the moon-dappled snow takes the form
Of a heart's deepest fears
They can find you in your room
Under the covers, with all the lights on
It doesn't matter, thousands of miles
Only makes them stronger
I fell in love with the shadow you cast
It enveloped the whole coast
It let me remain exiled by nothing
Married to escape
Ah-ooh, ah-ooh, ah-ooh
I had hoped to wake up in the morning
As always, something else
Anything, anything else
Oh, the undertow grasps at my ankles
And I'm tumbling, unmade, spinning
Through the dark to stay out at sea
Where there's no easy answer, no
Only me and the foam on the waves
Isn't safe, but it's something like home
It's a process we've been told
The legends of comfort are haunting our bones
It doesn't matter, the crying
The change only makes it harder
I fell in love with ideas of my salvation
The mist as validation and rain
Take my awful body, wrap me in lace
And drench me in honey
Diving back into the salt we're safe
No boys allowed, can this desk be my place?
Scream underwater, bubbles come out
Is this tears or laughter?
Mom, I am so sorry I can't be your girl
I am a strange creature of sadness and words
But I am not leaving
You are the one who showed me the ocean
Ah-ooh, ah-ooh, ah-ooh, ah-ooh
Ah-ooh, ah-ooh, ah-ooh, ah-ooh
I am not leaving
You are the one who showed me the ocean
I am not leaving
You are the one who showed me the ocean
I am not leaving
You are the one who showed me the ocean
