Killer Whales

James Vincent McMorrow


It’s getting hard to want me
Back I know I know
Just close your eyes and hold your breath
It won't be long
Before denial becomes regret
Just like you saw
Before I climb then break my legs
Just like before

So I take a long way home
Then I call you up
Convince you it's someone else
Somebody sure

That I’m still in love
But I’m not sleeping at
Night I’m afraid I could die
Without leaving a mark

Who am I to swim with killer whales
Who am I to wade to sea
They say the less I know the better
That seems ideal to me
Cause I’m like a tragic on a rail
There's better things to be
Counting my blessings every day
That started recently

But I take a long way home
Then I call you up
Convince you it's someone else
Somebody sure

That I’m still in love
But I’m not sleeping at night
I’m afraid I could die
Without leaving a mark

Are you sure where you are?
Are you sure where you are?
Are you sure where you are?
Are you sure where you are?

Cause I’m still in love
But I’m not sleeping at
Night I’m afraid I could die
Without leaving a mark
