Lyrics

[Verse 1] And honestly I have been begging for answers That you and only you can give to me My voice crying loud, been crying for days now And as I start to run, I stop 'cause [Verse 2] (I was nearly scared to death) And I was nearly scared to death (by what you left in paragraphs) By what you left in paragraphs (The words are nearly over us) The words were nearly over us You'll stop and turn and grab your bags [Chorus] But I'll be here by the ocean Just waiting for proof that there's sunsets and silhouette dreams While my sandcastles fall like the ashes of a cigarettе And every wave drags mе to sea And I could stand here for hours Just to ask God the question, "Is everyone here make-believe?" With a tear in His voice, He says, "Son, that's the question." Is this deafening silence mean nothing to no one but me? [Verse 3] As hours move to minutes Oh, but minutes take longer to break I will be desperately awaiting When my tongue won't fall apart And we've been sitting here for hours All alone and in the dark [Verse 4] And let me think of how to word it Is it too soon to say 'perfect'? If I could find another thirty minutes somewhere I'm sure everything would find me All that's left is just to sing [?] [Bridge] And if you sing to me sweet until then I may never sail Virginia again And as this current moves slow for me This much you must know: we'll meet again And El, I'll have you know I'm scared to death [Chorus] And I'll be here by the ocean Just waiting for proof that there's sunsets and silhouette dreams All my sandcastles fall like the ashes of a cigarette And every wave drags me to sea And I could stand here for hours Just to ask God the question, "Is everyone here make-believe?" With a tear in His voice, He says, "Son, that's the question." Is this deafening silence mean nothing to no one but me? [Guitar Outro]
