lyrics

someday i’m gonna build myself a home
complete with love a cornerstone
there’ll be no anger to shake the walls
therell be no space for loneliness at all

seven in the morning down for a swim
run to the ocean, jump right in
back in the car with a soggy hound
these boys are finding out what life’s about

a tiny thought engages me
tells me that is not to be
the thought gets bigger as they day goes on
then she comes home and i resume the song

out in the waves i can hear the moan
of the days i’ve lost or never known
but fresh as a sliver of the morning sun
i understand they thing that i’ve become

sometimes i think that i can see
what it is that’s killing me
what is that drags me down
but every time her love can turn me round

seven in the morning down for a swim
run to the ocean, jump right in
back in the car with a soggy hound
these boys are finding out what life’s about
