Shirtsleeves

I can taste salt water

And if I blink again

You’ll be sinking in

So we’ll learn to swim in the oceans you made

I´ll hold ya

And you´ll think of him

And pretty soon you’ll be floating away

And I’ll hold on to the words you spoke of

Anchored down in my throat, love

And I’m captain of this sinking boat, now

With just one armband to carry me home

When salted tears won’t dry

I’ll wipe my shirtsleeve

Under your eyes

These hearts will be flooded tonight

I’ll wipe my shirtsleeve

Under your eyes

Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, your eyes

I still taste salt water

On my lips from your kiss of bitterness

And I drown within the oceans you made

And I hate to love you, these cuffs are covered in your make up

I’ll never trust you again

You can just be a friend

And I’ll hold on to the words you spoke of

Anchored down in my throat, love

And I’m captain of this sinking boat, now

With just one armband to carry me home

When salted tears won’t dry

I’ll wipe my shirtsleeve

Under your eyes

These hearts will be flooded tonight

I’ll wipe my shirtsleeve

Under your eyes

Your eyes, your lips, your mouth

Your thighs, your back, you drive me wild

Tonight, the fact is I'm

I’m on my way home

On the way home

I lied, I tried to cry but I’m drowning in the oceans you made

When salted tears won’t dry

I’ll wipe my shirtsleeve

Under your eyes

These hearts will be flooded tonight

I’ll wipe my shirtsleeve

Under your eyes

Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
