The Shins - Sealegs Lyrics

Lyrics Sealegs - The Shins



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 it emptier, oh
′Cause when the dead moon rises again
Be no time to stall or protocol to hem us in
And when the dog slides underneath the train
There's no time, no use to searching for the mutt's remains
Throw all consequence aside
And a 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 try, they try
We got sea legs and we′re off tonight
Can′t have 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 the dead moon rises again
Be no time to stall or protocol to hem us in
Darling, when the dog slides, open the door and where′d she go?
There's no time, no use to searching for the mutt′s remains
Throw all consequence aside
And a cheerless pyre we will set alight
