Wrightsville Beach - A Loss For Words

Paint a picture as we’re walking on the street, a collage of paint,

cement and steam

Just like Déjà Vu, still life in a dream

There you stood watching as the rain poured down on me

We were once a canvas, so bright and full of color

Now we’ve become Dorian Grey where the frame is bent and cracked

I am too, if fact I’ve been that way since May

Let the waves crash down

They’ll swallow all of us and wash away those memories we tried to save

Was it enough to be brave?

How did we get so damn far by ignoring everything?

You were the sand beneath my feet, eroded by the tide

It’s too hard to believe, oh!

Let the waves crash down

They’ll swallow all of us and wash away those memories we tried to save

Was it enough to be brave?

All I ever wanted was a cool, dry place to rest my bones

Not to drift along with this current forever

Not to have to sink alone.

Let the waves crash down

They’ll swallow all of us and wash away those memories we tried to save

Was it enough to be brave?
