0:30

When I was older

0:36

I was a sailor

0:42

On an open sea

0:55

But now I'm underwater

1:01

And my skin is paler

1:07

Than it should ever be

1:16

Hmm...

1:28

I'm on my back again

1:31

Dreaming of a time and place

1:34

Where you and I remain the best of friends

1:39

Even after all this ends

1:45

Can we pretend?

1:50

I'm on my, I'm on my back again

1:57

It's seeming more and more like

1:59

All we ever do is see how far it bends

2:04

Before it breaks in half and then

2:10

We bend it back again

2:14

Guess I got caught in the middle of it

2:17

Yes, I've been taught, got a little of it

2:20

In my blood, in my blood

2:27

Memories burn like a forest fire

2:30

Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud

2:36

In the flood

2:44

When I was older

2:50

I was a sailor

2:56

On an open sea

3:09

But now I'm underwater

3:15

And my skin is paler

3:22

Than it should ever be

3:31

I'm watching movies back to back in black and white, I never

3:34

Seen anybody do it like I do it any better

3:37

Been goin' over you, I'm overdue for new endeavors

3:40

Nobody lonely like I'm lonely and I don't know whether

3:44

You'd really like it in the limelight

3:47

You'd sympathize with all the bad guys

3:50

I'm still a victim in my own right

3:53

But I'm the villain in my own eyes, yeah

4:01

When I was older

4:07

I was a sailor

4:13

On an open sea
