The Weight On Your Shoulders

I fell from a high school window
Looking for something to understand
Something to know
Didn't catch my bloody nose
Or that my fists were cut to the bone

We got caught living in a shed by the beach
Took Moriches down to the ally
Where the young have freedom to reach
We filled our cups and the ground sunk
Beneath the waves of our big town dreams

Here the Atlantic erases the feeling
And it's so liberating living with no meaning
Without a single dark memory
The sand in your hair and the green in her eyes...
It's funny how forgetting leaves a trail

So slowly I want to slip away
With all the things I didn't say
Before you made it clear to me
It's the bottom of your thoughts where I stay
Well it may be the truth
And it may well be a lie
When you decide to come to the beach again
It's the past you'll regret leaving so dry

With the moon reflecting the water
Like a glimmer looking for a moment
Come here where the snow isn't so cold
Fluorescent white mornings are getting old

Why do you look when you already found it
Why do you look when you already found me...

It's the pain in your smile that shows
The weight of the world is still on your shoulders
Thats what you told me
What seems so long ago...
