Ocean Blue - Behind lyrics

rate me

Sorting through this mess I happen on your smile

gleaming through a photograph buried for some while.

I'm taken by the way the swagger captured there

has vanished in the haze of time.

And by a foolish whim I'm stricken with desire

to phone you up and tell you of my find.

But as I stretch my hand

I'm reminded of the shape I'm in

from all the things you've left behind.

Man, I hate your friends

They really bring me down

And I can tell your not yourself whenever they're

around.

So ditch this motley crew for all the world of me

And leave these sorry few behind

I hope that by some master plan you're in the same

boat that I am

Waiting at a crossing path to seal away your life.

To lock inside a sacred bond so tight

And like this photograph the scattered thoughts of you

are frozen in the amber of my mind.

And boxes on the shelf of documents reminding me you

left an empty shell behind.
