Lyrics
OUT TO SEA
I want to hear about you
I?m tired of hearing about me
I?m floating again
Way out to sea
What did you say
You love me today
You sent up a flare
But I?m too far away
What?s the topic again
No, not about me
Not the only one
With some History
Did you say it to them
Like you?re saying it to me
Again and again and again?
Go back to sleep.
So you say
I never felt this way
Reminiscent rain
On a sunny day
Feeling that I?m more than clay
Washing the dirt away
I want to hear about you
I?m tired of hearing about me
I?m floating again
Way out to sea
What did you say
You love me today
You sent up a flare
But I?m too far away
