Ocean Beach

summer dress makes you more beautiful than the rest
lovliest girl that i know, and the sweetest
spends her life inside, she thinks she isn't blessed

summer dress separates you from the rest
easiest days of her life have been spent
wonders if she is loved, if she is missed

says a prayer as she's kissed by ocean mist
takes herself to the sand and dreams

says a prayer as she's kissed by ocean mist
takes herself to the sand and dreams

Coarse and white coat of your skin
blends with the state you're in
And the redness of your eyes
against a sun that clouds blind

(Chorus)
You ain't saying nothing
that I don't already know
When you say,
"Love's dimly light, won't shine on tomorrow."
You ain't saying nothing
that I don't already know
When you say,
"Love's dimly light, won't shine on tomorrow."

Chalk white apartment walls
surfaces my every flaw
And the naked instill in here,
brings surreal life
into clear

(Chorus)
You ain't doing nothing
that I don't already know
When you hide your
sorry head in pillows
And you ain't doing nothing
that I don't already know
When you hide your
sorry head in, when you hide your sorry head in pillows

(musical break)

Fake a strain, sort of grin
it matches the shape you're in
And accept any lies or truth
after the long year that we've been through

(Chorus)
And you ain't saying nothing
that I don't already know
When you say,
"Life takes turns like firery shadows."
And you ain't saying nothing
that I don't already know
When you say,
"Life takes turns like firery.."
When you say,
"Life takes turns like firery shadows."

so much that i can't say to you
my voice shakes from the hurt that i hide
ashamed of my existence
and of my petty often wounded pride
i'd like to come home to see you
and to catch your sickness by the bedside
but then you'd know how much i really need you

all the love in an instant
makes my life stop
but then my hate for you
makes my feelings altogether drop

if only i were blind to your selfish fling
and your desperate cause
and didn't press you for the details
that threaten my physical flaws

i'd like to come home to see you
and embrace your illness under soft light
but then you'd know how much i really need you

all the love in an instant
makes my life stop
but then my hate for you
makes my feelings altogether drop

so much that i can say to you
with affection that i burn inside
you're aching from the distance
avoiding strain that's running still alive
if only i could heal you in the sprinkling of the ocean side
but then you'd know how much i really love you

all the love in an instant
makes my life stop
but then my hate for you
makes my feelings altogether drop
