lyrics

There are many things that I can not explain
As if knowing would help me to walk away
As if knowing somehow would make a change
I'm still searching
I'm still searching now
Try and run when you can't even walk away

I guess I never really heard the sound of the sea
When the waves were crashing above my head
I tried not to think about it
I guess I never really learned how to move my feet
When the music plays loud enough to drown our voices out
I tried to say it a thousand times now

I think I found it in an empty bar where I sang aloud
And didn't know if anyone could really hear me
But I was speaking in tongues so I was never wrong
Ships in bottles capsized to this song
I'm still drowning in the wreckage
I'm still searching now

Try and run when you can't even walk away
Try and speak when I have nothing to say
I'm a shell on the beach
I'm a dog in the street
I'm a common household thing
But you can see the smile on my face

I guess I never really heard the sound of the sea
When the waves were crashing above my head
I tried not to think about it
I guess I never really learned how to move my feet
When the music plays loud enough to drown our voices out
I tried to say it a thousand times now
