lyrics

"I believe our fits of chemistry are in order."

So there seems a sense of symmetry between the way they speak,
Between the way they move,
Between the way they breathe.

Now we're just peaking in the alleys set inside their foolish games:
The phone calls, the chance to carp,
The messages, The time apart,
The distance drawn with blurred lines between their hearts.

"Oh me," cries the boy,
From the shadows, from the deep.
"Attention please," swoons the girl,
"We'll share a bed upon the beach."

"Jerash!" Now her pulse quite moving
And now we're just laying in the sun...
(Sigh)
A laugh, now her skin's still moving
With my arm stretched across her chest.

So breathe while our mouths are parting
And the words are starting to paint a thousand portraits
Of our past, our present, and our stars.
This afternoon, this beach, this boulevard -
This means something.
This rings of something.

I remember sitting here so many years ago
As a boy with a pen detailing
All the faces and all the waves and
All the lights and all the thoughts
That whispered of her so many nights away.

I cast myself into the deep and began to swim
And now, here, I can finally touch land.
But I keep letting her toss me back in every chance that I get
I'm gasping for air but I'm learning with
Each deep breath that drifts by me.

I'm changing with the endless water and waves that I find surrounding me.
(Shhh...)

This wasn't just a girl I watched standing in the sea.
This was kindling for infinity.
