Washed up on shore
Washed up on shore

I'd like to live beneath the dirt
A tiny space to move and breathe is all that I would ever need
I want to live beneath the dirt
Where I'd be free from push and shove like all those swarming up above
Beneath your heals I'll spend my time

Shout your name into the wind
I'll wiggle in the earth and dew
Shout your name into the wind
And sometimes I will think of you
Shout your name into the wind
And if you ever think of me
Kneel down and kiss the earth
And show me what this thought is worth
I'll never hear your voice again

Shout your name into the wind
Shout your name into the wind
Shout your name into the wind
Shout your name into the wind

Shout your name into the wind
Shout your name into the wind
Shout your name into the wind
Shout your name into the wind

    I never even thought about death for this song. To me, it always seemed like a song about deep depression. You want to just stay away from the world, and you don't want to go anywhere or do anything. Down in the dirt you can't be affected by anyone.
