The one I love is far from here Across the deep blue ocean Though space between us doth divide I'll see you in the morning Through stormy waves and cloudy night Your love shines bright upon me and bolsters up my sleepless heart I'll see you in the morning Approaching swiftly o'er the line though sail or fog I cannot tell bring winds of trade or fog of war will be revealed come morning Off in the distance soaring white A dove flies softly from the sea it eases now my troubled heart I look again to morning A sultry wind has touched my skin and pulled my heart into the rift My strength to stand is swept away and filled back up with mourning Come back my dear and stay with me My love is blind and hope is frail I'll cling on to my joyous haze and wait again til morning

The goldfish he don’t know that he’s underwater till you go and spill his world on the ground. People they don’t know what they’re chasing after til they know for sure that it cannot be found.

I. I can't breathe without air My beliefs over there Aquarius water phobe I dove in to get home II. [The ocean is singing a song] III. Overboard In the storm Knew my form Ocean still Hydrofield I could kneel Calling out I to drown You reached out Calling out I could drown You reached doubt

I’ve been floating around job to job to job since I was seventeen While all my friends get someone pregnant like it ain’t no thing Feels like more than good times Video games and after work hobbies Something about freedom or something This would make a much better song If I knew what was keeping me from making progeny And I’m stuck drawing fonts Instead of raising up someone that looks half like me I’ve been floating around Imagine a symbolic pool where I’m largely doing nothing Look around, everyone is gone, I think Trevor is wrong about being misfit toys Trevor that’s a heat miser kind of thing to think Cause Trevor I think you’re lovely And maybe that’s beside the point But you don’t get to criticize all our friends By calling them misfit toys This would make a much better song If I knew what was keeping me from making progeny And I’m stuck writing songs Instead of raising up someone who is better than me THIS IS A JOKE mom if you’re listening No really mom, it’s fine.

She’s already in Walking with a friend Carrying the light of a million hearts Passing with a voice Some would kill to have I’m trying to hold a space for me Keep on, keep on One bite at a time Reach on, reach on It’s personal, defined And it feels nice just to know that she’s alive Real bones with guts and hide, intact and well In a push for rights, when you’re born beneath the waves Give some god whatever praise to make it out She’s making a way There’s no turning back Hold on tight we’re in this now Keep on, keep on One step at a time Reach on, reach on It’s fire we’re in—it’s fine And it feels nice just to know that she’s alive Real bones with guts and hide intact and well In a push for rights, when you’re born beneath the waves Give some god whatever praise to make it out

I don’t believe in superstition. But there’s something after me. I’ve been working in this city for too long. I miss my life back by the sea. I think it’s time for me to leave. It’s time to run away. Back to the place where we used to go. Where nobody knows my name. We’re going on a holiday! Back to the ocean deep and blue. Where the hot sun shines all day. Take a look around-it’s only me and you. Forever we will stay. And when the sun goes down at night The moon will shine above. We’ll look into each other’s eyes and find that All that we need is love. (spoken) Everybody has a place, you know, they like to get away For some people, it’s the mountains. But for me, nothing beats a white sand beach, and crystal clear water. Come on, you know, let me take you there.

Take time, don't change your mind so soon Rewind, you’ve got me all confused I hope we get it right, Yeah, you could get it right I dove in just hoping it would grow Cool blue, I'm used to you, you know I hope we get it right Yeah, you could get it right You will Algae, you’ve grown on me I know you’ll be in heaven when you go If we get it right If you get it right You will I’m sure it's no use if I tell you But it’s filling up my lungs I’m sinking down now You win
