lyrics

If I'm a bottle, you're lemonade
Watching you wade through endless waist-high waves
Seafoam doesn't glow like your skin
Watching you turn away, watching you swim

Can I stop myself from lolloping in your wake?
I just want to dive in
Float on the swell you make
Why am I always following?
Haven't you noticed i've been

Running around like the fool you make me feel
Buddy I've still got secrets
None of which i'm intending to reveal
Whether or not you believe it

Go ahead and use me for my mind
As well as my body
Soon I'm leaving you behind
I'm turning away
I'm leaving you behind

If you're a bottle, I'm the sea
Bearing you on, bobbing gently
Inside is a little confession
Never meant for me to read

Will I let you shatter against the rocky shore?
I just want to get in
What are you so watertight for?
Why am I always wondering?
Why am i always

Running around like the fool you make me feel
Buddy I've still got secrets
None of this nonsense counts as really real
Sorry if you believed it

Go ahead and use me for my mind
As well as my body
Soon I'm leaving you behind
Till then you've got me running around like a fool

The fool you make me feel
Buddy I've still got secrets
None of this fuss is that much of a big deal
When I'm not underneath it

Go ahead, man, use me for my mind
As well as my body
Soon i'm leaving you behind
I'm turning away
I'm leaving you behind
