Stay
But I keenly pursue
A little mirage in the blue,
Determination helps me through.
Though I never really grumble,
Life's a jumble indeed
And in my efforts to succeed
I've had to formulate a creed.
I believe in doing what I can
In crying when I must
In laughing when I choose
Hey ho, if love were all
I should be lonely.
I believe the more you love a man,
The more you give your trust,
The more you're bound to lose.
Although when shadows fall
I think if only
Somebody splendid really needed me
Swim
you keep telling me I'm beautiful
but I feel a little less so each time
your love is so colorful
it flashes like a neon sign
but I finally drove out where
the sky is dark enough to see stars
and I found I miss no one
just listening to the swishing of distant cars
so I hope I'd never see the ocean again
pushin' and pulling at me as I go deeper and deeper in
'til I'm so far from my shore
so far from what I came here for
I'll let you surround me
I'll let you drown me
out with your din
and then I learned how to swim
I was floating above myself
watching her do just what you wanted
poor little friendly ghost
wondering why her whole house feels haunted
I told myself I was strong enough
that I had plenty of blood to give
and each elbow cradled a needle
but less and less I'm finding a way to live
so I hope I never see the ocean again
pushin' and pullin' at me as I go deeper and deeper in
til I'm so far from my shore
so far from what I came here for
I let you surround me
I let you drown me
out with your din
and then I learned how to swim
you keep telling me I'm beautiful
but I feel a little less so each time
your love is so colorful
it flashes like a neon sign
but I finally drove out where
the sky is dark enough to see stars
and I found I miss no one
just listening to the swishing of distant cars
