Cover art for Selena lyrics by RÜFÜS DU SOL

I just transcribed these myself because they don't exist anywhere! Couple of lines I'm not too sure of, particularly the first line, so if anyone has any edits to make, please let me know / or make them yourself!

This song is brilliant. The music, the vibe, it's all great. Is it about a girl named Selena that one of them once knew? Maybe... I love the imagery they create in the words, all the stuff about oceans rising and love capsizing. RÜFÜS have a knack for metaphor.

The whole song is about a rocky relationship, I think that is obvious. They fight, almost break up, get back together. Sounds like they're making excuses to stay together. The chorus confuses me, unless of course I have the words wrong which might explain it haha...
