lyrics

Boy, I’m about to break your heart.
You best go now.
Run away.
Before I
Start up this plea for the honesty
That will surely be the death of you and me.
Oh, this is not my call.

So haggard I am holding on,
Offer up this kiss as another pawn,
To break my own fall.
This absinthe honesty,
Has got a hold on me,
And I swim right through your sea, a false martyr.
Oh, the waves that crash into my shore they don’t,
They don’t matter
Anymore because all that I can see,
Is calm water
Washing over me.
Cool, calm water.

Boy, I’m about to bust your balls.
All these things that you hear me say,
They just don’t sink once you start to fall,
For all your charm you’ve got a lot of head,
But before we’re through falling out of bed,
I’ll be reaching for my crowbar;
wondering how the hell this got so far.
So far gone.
Oh, I will only do you wrong.

So haggard I am holding on,
Offer up this kiss as another pawn,
To break my own fall.
This absinthe honesty,
Has got a hold on me,
And I swim right through your sea, a false martyr.
Oh, the waves that crash into my shore they don’t,
They don’t matter anymore because all that I can see,
Is calm water,
Washing over me.
Cool, calm water

[Phil kills a bass solo]
MMmmm

This absinthe honesty
Has got a hold on me
And I swim right through your sea, a false martyr.

Oh the waves that crash into my shore, they don’t
They don’t matter anymore
Because all that I can see,
All that I can be,
I said, all that I can free
Is calm water washing over me.
Cool, calm water.
