lyrics

the days my dear
they're wearing me down
I've been trying to get so close to you
but you're so hard to reach

and everywhere I go
you get inside my mind
whenever anybody gets close to you
do you feel like you need to change?

breaking down the walls
I can never see how
anyone can get through to you
and will it get worn down
before I break myself?

look out
every time I see the light, there's another one going out
make way cause the tide's going out
I never know til its much much much too late
so here I go again

Wednesday morning
the dogs have been fed
but I don't want to get out of bed
if I could drain the ocean
we'd lay out in the sand
but it wouldn't mean much
cause I can't control the way
the tide shakes and swells inside our heads

I lie awake
I wait
I wait

every time I see the light, there's another one going out
make way cause the tide's going out
I never know til its much much much too late
so here I go, here I go again
