Waves crash down
It’s getting colder
Leaves turning brown
They’re turning over
Still in the same town
But getting older
Tense in my nightgown
You’re hand on my shoulder
Suffocating in smolder
I feel the choke shifting lower
Here we are by the sea
And you're looking right at me
Oh but you watch absently
ooh
Walk downtown
Full exposure
There’s no sound
No disclosure
People surround
Children in their strollers
We say nothing about
The runners or the smokers
Suffocating in smolder
I feel the choke shifting lower
Here we are
By the sea
And you’re looking right at me
Oh but you watch
Absently
It breaks my heart
To see
You standing here with me
Oh no but not
Not happily
mmm
It breaks my heart
To see
You standing here with me
Oh no but not
Not happily
