Swim To The Buoy

Maybe we were just too scared alone
Compact disc and a flipping phone
Your penmanship was perfect
Cursive in my mind
Waiting on a beach where nobody came
Watch you with your big feet
Kicking the waves
I'd rather be with friends
Cooking my brain
Playing video games

And I see you
See you out in the water
Somewhere you're meant to be
I see you
See you out in the water
Somewhere you're meant to be

See a sliver of light
See the sky divide
And I kept your watch
Not for telling the time
I get so wrapped up in other people's minds
Could you tell what was on my mind
See the faded light on the distant ships
And I still feel a little emptiness
I thought by this point I'd be stronger than I am

I see you out in the water
Somewhere you're meant to be
And I see you
See you out in the water
Somewhere you're meant to be

See a sliver of light
See the sky divide
And I kept your watch
Not for telling the time
I get so wrapped up in other people's minds
(Somewhere you're meant to be)
Could you tell what was on my mind
See the faded light on the distant ships
And I still feel a little emptiness
(See you out in the water)
I thought by this point I'd be stronger than I am
