The sea said goodbye to the shore so the sun wouldn't notice
The seaweed had wrapped it's arms around you
The carpet on my cheek feels like a forest
and I run through the tall trees with your hands chasing me
The books that I keep by my bags are full of the stories
That I drew up from a little dream of mine, a little nightmare of yours
To be asked to take this plunge, to forgive and forget
And be the better man, to be a better man, to be a better man
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
They cast the silhouette as big as a monster in this concrete jungle,
With streetlights hanging their heads.
So make all your last demands for I will forsake you
and I'll meet your eyes for the very first time, for the very last
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well
I met a man today and he smiled back at me
there are thoughts like these that keep me on my feet,
that keep me on my feet.
