I can taste salt water
And if I blink again
You'll be sinking in
So we'll learn to swim in the oceans you made
I'll hold you and you'll think of him
And pretty soon you'll be floating away
And I'll hold onto the words you spoke of
Anchored down in your throat, love
And I'm captain of this sinking boat now
With just one armband to carry me home
When salted tears won't dry
I'll wipe my shirtsleeve under your eyes
These hearts will be flooded tonight
I'll wipe my shirtsleeve under your eyes
Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
I still taste salt water
On my lips from your kiss, bitterness
And I'll drown within the oceans you made
And I hate to love you, these cuffs are covered in your make up
I'll never trust you again
You can just be a friend
And I'll hold onto the words you spoke of
Anchored down in your throat, love
And I'm captain of this sinking boat now
With just one armband to carry me home
When salted tears won't dry
I'll wipe my shirtsleeve under your eyes
These hearts will be flooded tonight
I'll wipe my shirtsleeve under your eyes
Your eyes, your lips, your mouth, your thighs, your back
You drive me wild tonight, the fact design
I'm on the way home
I'm on the way home
I lied, I tried to cry, but I'm
I'm drowning in the oceans you made
When salted tears won't dry
I'll wipe my shirtsleeve under your eyes
These hearts will be flooded tonight
I'll wipe my shirtsleeve under your eyes
Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
