I want to hold you now And listen to you breathe It's like the ocean sound Whispering through the trees In the hollow of your shoulder There's a tide pool of my tears Where the waves came crashing over And the shoreline disappears Baby close your eyes Fly back there with me Where the phosphor shines Green flashlights from the sea Our nets were full of soft shells Our hearts were free from toil And we made love on the kitchen table Till the water reached a boil We hold it all for a little while, don't we... Kiss the dice, taste the rain Like little knives upon our tongue We can do no wrong when the lights come on And the music plays And we take the stage like we own the place As if time were cheap and the night forever young So let 'em turn my soul Seven shades of blue And with the ocean's roll I will wave to you And the birds will sing my laughter And the whales will steal my song But I'll be ok forever after And the world will get along We hold it all for a little while, don't we? Kiss the dice, taste the rain like little knives upon our tongue We can do no wrong when the lights go on and the music plays And we take the stage like we own the place As if time were cheap and the night forever young
