Lyrics

Oh you caught me
I'm always off beat
rocking the boat
in a way
that just ain't deemed pretty

oh I'm caught in between
the prettiest of nights
And they're watching me
Oh what a … oh what a sight.. They must see

And the breeze
slowly making its way
Whispering promises
of a different kind of day
Sprouting rumors of textures
That are budding too late

am c am c
Cause I've grown to tired
for all of our sakes
and I'm not confident the things I've done'll take

Oh she screams
it presses upon me
And so young

An' this weight on my shoulders
Empties me of hands
I can hear it coming right for me
And the rush forgives me for all that I am

Oh the waves
Theyre rocking so gently
And below I see is
Startlingly at ease
I'd like to try a little peace (am?)

Dress me up
cover me in daisies
Oh lay me down
Sprinkle on me the weightless things I was once so scared about

Dress me up
cover me in daisies
Oh lay me down
Burry me in the once true things I've all but forgotten about

One day the waves
they'll rock me so gently
and I'll be so startlingly at ease

I'll get my peace (Am)
