Bayhouse 02:59
The waves are crashing from the dock of your bay house I am still drifting trying to wade through all my mind I’m diving under, hiding behind the moon now Two in the morning and the miles behind The waves are crashing down on me and I need you I’m waiting up alone just sleepless tonight I’m lost sleeping here in my basement She’s sleeping somewhere far away I sift through the static of my mind I’m finding that she’s too much to take The mile markers stretching out from the ocean I hold you closer from the edges of my mind The minutes pass and pass and gone with the daylight Everyone’s sleeping as I wait through all the night I’ve been waiting, saving my breath now Please just take me down to your bay house When I catch you slowing your breath down And you dream, bring us to your bay house

Sunstroke 03:41
I’m waiting up ‘cause you’re here inside my mind And I wonder all the time why I couldn’t just let you know Run run run run Everyone is seeing through Run run run run Now I’m racing through the month of June I’m trying to tell you now I’m pouring out, sinking down into the street In the the summer in the heat wishing I could just tell you now Waste my time I fade to the summer sun Read my lips Forgive me when it all just comes out wrong I trying to tell you now I just wondered if you could let me in Wait in the sun, falling farther in love Wishing I could just say these things I’ve wanted to Sailing away, reaching under the waves And I fall till I break ‘cause I just can’t get to you I’m waking up, leaving all of this behind ‘Cause you never leave my mind, and I stumble into the sun Run run run run Everyone is seeing through Run run run run Now I’m racing through the month of June I couldn’t tell you now I’ll wait in the sun falling farther in love I can’t say if I’m ever coming home Wait in the sun and I know that I love you It’s in my head and I can’t hold onto Bright as the tides washing over my head Keeping me down and I can’t hold onto I’m catching up and you tell me now that I Wasn’t ever far behind. Why couldn’t you let me know?
3.
I could spend my days diving to the bottom of it all Grab your things, get on an airplane Take the pictures from the runway Faded, cloudy shots of sunrise Landing to the city skyline Pictures vanish as we go I could spend my days, diving to the bottom of it all Raise your glass to here and now Pretending we’re all waking from a dream Knowing this could be the end Is never quite as easy as it seems So we all sing My, oh, my I’ve got time, I’ve got time Would I lie? I am fine, I am fine My, oh, my I’ve got time, I’ve got time Would I lie? I am fine, I am fine Drink up, drink up, take another Hazy thoughts from several summers Crashing in your friend’s apartment Waking up on filthy carpets I can’t ever let it go So drink with me my dear, diving to the bottom of it all
4.
Oh, and when the storms come flooding through the hall Rising to the landing tearing pictures from the walls The currents pull us underneath, that bright tide rips us out Into a tangled coral reef where we will never drown Now that we’re at the end I’ve tried to tell myself it’s always been you Should I continue on and let you make this place your own Or should we float off with the waves until we’re taken home ‘Cause if we sank along into the tide Our shadows cast out long and crooked lines Even if you might not follow through As the sun is swallowed up from view The last face that I’d see belongs to you
5.
So, if I took your hand as parades passed us by Would it be in my head? Is it all in my head? And if you let me go as the marching band’s tune Slowly fades to the night Is it all in my head? But even if you don’t follow now I will wait until you do And even if you’re scared to somehow I will wait for you Or if we took ourselves to the end of the street You and I side by side All in my head It’s nice to think of you this way Here at the end of the day ‘Cause even if you don’t follow now I will wait until you do And even if you’re scared to somehow I will wait for you We’ll pass into the swells The brightest tide can’t save this now
