I want to hold you now and listen to you breathe
It’s like the ocean sound whispering through the trees
In the hollow of your shoulder there’s a tidepool of my tears
Where the waves came crashing over and the shoreline disappears

Baby, close your eyes and fly back there with me
Where the phosphor shines green flashlights from the sea
Our nets were full of soft shells and our hearts were free from toil
And we made love on the kitchen table till the water reached a boil

(Chorus)
We hold it all for a little while, don’t we
Kiss the dice, taste the rain like little knives upon our tongue
We can do no wrong when the lights come on and the music plays
And we take the stage like we own the place
As if time were cheap and the night forever young

So let ‘em turn my soul seven shades of blue
And with the ocean’s roll I will wave to you
And the birds will sing my laughter, and the whales will steal my song
And I’ll be okay forever after, and the world will get along

(Chorus)
