lyrics

I first wrote down uncertainty because that's the only thing I feel
For my future home, my future gig and for the heart I may someday steal
I can see the options swirling in the salty mirrored sun
But it could take years or decades till I find the right ones

But everything I meet here in this city by the sea
In spite of all that goes down still makes my heart believe
Reminding me that life's a game I really want to play
I traced my problems in the sand - the sea washed them away

I wrote down unmarketable because I spent a year sorting out beads
And it wasn't painless and the pay was shit
And you can bet there were no full-time leads
I can hear her whisper saying that it's not much longer now
But I sometimes feel cemented when my feet are on the ground

I wrote down wanting what I can't have because that's what I really do
I've got this lust to wander and I've got this lust for you
But the ocean reminds me how much is really out there
I have time and heart and options, not a thing is unfair
As the sand goes blank again, my loaded words erased
She wraps me in her arms again and tells me that I am safe.
