dear child, they're asking us to move
I watched her taking off her shoe
(let the shore tide take you in, let the shore tide in)
unwary I'm not quite rusty yet
this could be obvious to you
(let the shore tide take you in, let the shore tide in)
in this short time we've been treading air
i've been trying to reach you, but my extension cord wouldn't reach that far
(now you've lost your chance)
i've been patiently waiting
the indicator light is flashing on
(now you've lost your chance)
dear sleeper you could have had the better bed
i loved to watch the way you grew
we're out, we're out the door
we're out, we're out the door
is this short time we've been treading air
i've been trying to reach you but your extension cord doesn't reach that far
(doesn't reach that far)
(reach that far)
i've been patiently waiting
the indicator light is flashing on
flashing on
flashing on
in this coma, sleepless dancing
we've been treading air
i've been trying to reach you but your extension cord wouldn't reach that far
doesn't reach that far
reach that far
i've been desperately waiting
the indicator light is flashing off
it's flashing off
flashing off
i've been trying to reach you but your extension cord wouldn't reach that far
(wouldn't reach that far)
(reach that far)
