I'm watching the tide, sitting, sitting in the sand
Waiting for a song to write, creeping, creeping behind the mountain

Holy water has nothing on this
And the world will go on when I cease to exist
Every wave that breaks is a second that I cannot replace
And when I feel like this I wish, I wish I could shut it off

What would I live like, worry, worry all the time
Shouldn't be a surprise, it's easy, easy to be terrified

Oh believe me, I've tried everything
I'm still sitting on needles and pins
Every breath I take is a second that I cannot replace
And when I feel like this I wish, I wish I could shut it off

Every breath I take is a second that I cannot replace
And when I feel like this I wish, I wish I could shut it off
