We wiped out at the start
We washed up on different beaches
Seasick after the storm
I know no bottle can reach you
no message will right these wrongs
Put a shell to your ear
All you'll hear is the roar
Of the thousands of lovers that came before
And of oceans that don't give a damn about us
You're the piece that won't weave in straight
You're in my hair, rock in my shoe
Year after year after year I think about you
Wave upon wave upon wave at your door
Put a shell to your ear
All you'll hear is the roar
Of the thousands of lovers that came before
And of oceans that don't give a damn about us
I feel your rage
You thought I was faking it
Nothing I say will repair
But know I'm as true to you as I am able
Know you still trouble me, burr in my hair
Put a shell to your ear
All you'll hear is the roar
Of the thousands of lovers that came before
And of oceans that don't give a damn about us
