Sea Legs

Of all the churning random hearts under the sun
Eventually fading into night
These two are opening now
As we lie I touch you, under fuller light

Girl, if you're a seascape
I'm a listing boat for the thing carries every hope
I invest in a single lie
The choice is yours to be loved
Come away from an emptier boat

'Cause when that dead moon rises again
There's no time to start a protocol to hem us in
And when the dog slides underneath the train
There's no rhyme or use for searching for the mutt's remains

Throw all consequence aside
To the cheerless pyre we will set alight

Of all the intersecting lines in the sand
I routed a labyrinth to your lap
I never used a map, sliding off the land on an incidental tide
And along the way, you know they tried, they tried

But we got sea legs and we're off tonight
Can I've that to which they've no right
You belong to a simpler time
I'm a victim to the impact of these words and this rhyme

'Cause when that dead moon rises again
We've no time to start a protocol to hem us in
Darling, when the dog slides, open the door and where'd she go?
There's no rhyme or use for searching for the mutt's remains

Throw all consequence aside
And the cheerless pyre we will set alight
