I thought that I knew love,
But it was just a wave crashing over us,
And in the breaths between the ones we meant to be,
I had my head under my feet,
You knew the way things were,
You knew the way they would be,
We knew exactly how it'd end.
Strays on a stale sea,
Oh anchor the engine to a canyon far beneath,
Water rushed out from the boards below,
So I started slicking my hair with the kerosene,
You knew the way things were,
You knew the way they would be,
We knew exactly how it'd end.
And I'm preparing for a burial in sea,
But I can't see the lighthouse,
Yet I'm praying that these waters don't take me,
Cause I can't see the lighthouse.
I was screaming that the ship was sinking,,
But you were telling me to just keep drinking,
Quartered into parts again,
Arms and legs at the bottom of the ocean,
And the thing that made it so much harder,
Was the fact that you were someone's daughter,
I knew the way things were,
I knew the way they would be,
I knew exactly how it'd end.
And I can't see the lighthouse,
And I'm preparing for a burial in sea,
But I can't see the lighthouse,
Yet I'm praying that these waters don't take me,
Cause I can't see the lighthouse,
Yeah I can't see the lighthouse.
I thought that I knew love,
But it was just a wave crashing over us.
