lyrics

All the emotions I wanted to keep
could just as easily wash away in my sleep.
It's a laugh and a half and an empty epitaph;
"I was here," is all that it reads.
Now it's not quite as black and white
as you might think or as I would like,
because what's clear as day can be as dark as night
when it's under a different light.
But there was no second guessing
when we were messing around
to the sound and dressing down
because barnacle blessings were hiding
under every bad tiding that we found.

Now I've got this memory, but it got away from me,
and now it's just something that happened once or twice.
It's a laugh and a half, a paraphrased paragraph,
taken from a page from someone else's life.
I haven't seen myself in a day or two.
I was looking for something that I can hold on to.
Now I'm jumping from substance to substitute.
Is my heart an anchor or a parachute?
All the plans that never got done
were still a lot of fun to daydream about.
But how strange it is to miss this
fictional old stomping grounds.
