lyrics

Whenever the thunder gets closer
Moves in, draws on
Alice turns over
Bracing for the bomb

I never ask, you never offer
Just head for the water
With scattered hopes and idle chatter
You ask me what it matters now

We can't keep leaving
The same hearts out to dry again and again
To take the beating
While you fend for something obsolete
Well, I'd best keep reaching
To render something incomplete

The tangled tides of you
Reveal what I deny 'til I'm blue
In the face, in the nude
I waste all my mistakes on you
Like a calm upon the storm

Though the clouds have shaded our blinding ambition
It never hurts to know you're listening
I am the candle to your chandelier
The sole admission
It's dark enough to disappear

In the tangled tides of you
(I need you in the strangest ways)
I'm lost 'til I arrive, renewed
I no longer care if it's true
(I need you in the strangest ways)
I wasted my escape on you
Like a calm upon the storm
