Low Tide

I'm trying to read the words that hide between each blink

Tryin' real hard to trace the scars that shift out on the brink

And for once I'll sit in silence, wonderin' what you really think of me

It's like you're a better version of the person I once knew

But I have yet to see a better person than any version I've seen of you

I'm trying to catch my breath in a vacuum made with stares

Tryin' real hard to trace the stars in this early morning air

And you say that low tide looks so very lonely way out there to me

It's like you're a better version of the person I once knew

But I have yet to see a better person than any version I've seen of you

It's like every dream I've ever had then woken up to curse

'Cause good dreams only make me miss you so much worse

Oh, calamity

Perspective seems a bit skewed of late

Everything I ever wanted inches away

And all that I can think of is how easily shale stone can break
