lyrics

How many times must I throw the line
Before this tiny ship comes crashing to the shore
And tell me how many times must I say goodbye
Before I start believing it for sure

When one of you gets word of what I do
It shall be forgone
That pretty soon you all will know the tune
I’ve been screaming from the gutter for so long
And pretty blue the sky from which you flew
I saw you dive
Over time
Filled with circles in my mind

How many times must I throw the line
Before this tiny ship comes crashing to the shore
And tell me how many times must I say goodbye
Before I start believing it for sure

I misconstrue
So much I see right through
Love’s great rewards
I make things up
And blur the lines and such
That telling me won’t matter anymore
Through dizzy blue the ground comes into view
I’m still alive
Despite time
All the circles in my mind

How many times must I throw the line
Before this tiny ship comes crashing to the shore
And tell me how many times must I say goodbye
Before I lose my fear of thinking
I’m too late to hear it anymore

Before the wind
Before the oxygen that kills us from within
Oh this world had lost its way
The murmuring decay still fills our heads

Tell me how

I misconstrue so much
I never knew
I caused your dive
Over time
