Lyrics

[Verse 1] Throw me all around like a boomerang sky Whatever you do, don't tell me why Poppies grow tall then say bye bye The wave is here A seamless little team and then we tanked I guess we're not so sacrosanct The tip of my tongue but then we blanked The wave is here Waiting on the wind to tell my side Ready set jet but she never gets far Listen to your skin from the seat of my car Two centipedes stuck in one glass jar The longest wave Waiting on the wind to tell my side [Pre-Chorus] Whatcha want? Whatcha need? Do you love? [Chorus] Maybe I'm the right one, maybe I'm the wrong Just another play, the pirate, and the Papillon Time to call it a day Maybe you're my last love, maybe you're my first Just another way to play inside the universe Now I know why we came [Verse 2] Sterile as the barrel of an old 12 gauge Under my skin and half my age Hotter than the wax on a saxifrage The longest wave Waiting on the wind to turn my page Steady your sails for the butterfly flap Whatever you do, don't close that gap I'm dreaming of a woman, but she's just my nap Your ship is in Waiting on the tide so I can swim [Pre-Chorus] Whatcha want Whatcha need Do you love [Chorus] Maybe I'm the right one, maybe I'm the wrong Just another play, the pirate, and the Papillon Time to call it a day Maybe you're my last love, maybe you're my first Just another way to play inside the universe Now I know why we came [Outro] Now I know why we came Now I know
