Meet me by the shore I can see the waves are changing course And the lines grow fast in your palms See these tides, my love, are not at stake for you and me Waiting by the shore Captain, I'm not sure Why are we alive when the enemy's dead? The answers foam by the shore Like multiplying digits rise and fall And like lovers attending your parties We prey on the dark I drink You drink on your own And your heart is a burning disaster So beat on the drums and we'll burn that much faster Prey on my soul and I'll show you disaster Beat on the drums And we'll burn that much faster Oh, my love So meet me by the shore Can't you feel the waves are changing course And the lines won't show you the way All this water cold I'm wide-awake Like you on the shore You alight.
