tide leaves the shore and things aren't how they looked before. did i fall asleep somewhere and not wake up at all, was it from a distant bed i heard the ocean call? those voices make me paranoid, that little laugh of yours chases me to where i hope to find you. you know, they've always said i run from love, but maybe that's the place i'm running to. forgive me if i take my time and do these things all wrong. i'm still scared if i look away, you won't stay for very long. i'd stop it now, though slowly, that game is getting old (but give me help to put to rest the bad dreams i've been sold). tide leaves the shore; my feet don't match the footprints someone left behind.
