everything dies
all in time
i'll never surrender
the water is sinking
the water is sinking
the water is sinking
the water is sinking
want to be something more than this
want to be something more than this
wanted to be
the water is sinking
hold on, my friends
words fall short when i still feel your hand in mine
hold on, my friends

cosmo
rays of sun illustrate the outline of your face
what would you tell me if you could speak
i take you outside
and you hide somewhere i can't find you
take the pictures down while i sleep
to tv static songs
let the churning tides remain
and whatever belongs
take the pictures down while i sleep
to tv static songs
cosmo, you're the reason i believe
my childhood's not gone

vicky,
is it that easy to tell i'm still hung up on you?
bluntly said, i wanted more than you could give
i'm still full of regrets
do you remember the way we locked eyes that first night?
or how i laid there silently hoping for a future i couldn't have?

i was waiting for a reason why
i should leave my whole world behind
but i was so stupid then
i pitched all the letters she wrote
just to quell my hopelessness swelling inside
after all, i made up my mind
where's my soul mate
i'd love to find out
and i'd fly to moscow just to see her smile
i'd fly anywhere to see her smile
wake up
i'll never see the days again
i'll never see the days again
i'll just keep holding in everything
till the day i die

melissa, i found that smiths book you ordered
if i had some matches
i'd probably burn it
i saw your sister
slumping around border's
with some older man
maybe stuart's father
melissa, if you make that move out to boston
i hope that you treat it well
better than you treated me
i'm so scared
you work three blocks from me
what if you came in
what am i to do
we'd talk about
(so much to explain)
we'd talk about
(i'm glad it's lost on you but)
we'd talk about
(thank you for the pity kitty)
we'd talk about nothing but being alone
(i'll repay the favor someday soon)
i'm so scared
face it, son, you've made up your mind too soon
i know it's wrong but i wish you wouldn't have gone away

of all the times i cried for you
i never thought this would be the last
stay outta the bus lane
you’re not there
to this place i love, i’ll never return
hand in hand, you and i got what we deserved
an orange from the valley, nine tears for every word
the water’s still sinking but don’t forget the people we were
when you cross my mind
i feel alright
you’re out there somewhere
and i guess that’s all i need to be okay
i’m not alright but i still pretend to be

tell me about the songs that no longer reach your ears
the ones that take you back
back to tear-stained shirts with the windows down on the freeway
back to when 24 hours didn't mean a thing
(the water is sinking)
when CD mixtapes and black mirror episodes held equal weight
weighing down like five weeks before
prior to the realization that this was it
and that's the way it'll stay:
unfulfilled
from bayview windows to the amarillo sky
i'll hold you dear
this hasn’t felt the same without you by my side
makes me just wanna go home
just wanna go home

two kids out in the desert
their tears clogging up the horizon with the weeping sun
you can be screwing around and still be dead serious inside
almost like you know
something’s gonna die out there
almost like you know
the wind won’t blow the same way next time
(the water is sinking)
the water more shallow
the view less astounding
endless miles and minutes and messages relayed over them
hearing those words you always wished you could say
(the water is sinking)
the final word
the dam breaks
what was that final word?
sometimes when i dream i see her smile
was the the glimpse that she gave me enough to last a lifetime?
enough to last a lifetime

every other month or two i think i could reverse it all
let the water drag you down
that's me
does she ever wonder if i feel to blame in this universe so small
let the water drag you down
that's me
that's me
