You said, ‘Come on in, the water’s fine.’
So I busted cannonballs off across the ocean and back
And you said, ‘That’s not what I meant.’
I know I took things too far sometimes
But I didn’t mean to pass you by.
Every day I would try catching up to you.
Every day you would pull me over
And ask where I was going in such a hurry.
By the time I realized I had missed your point
I took to asking if you would meet me, way off the mark.
I’d make you dizzy and hope it felt good.
You’re gone now and I get it.
I had to know with my lungs what I did.
Did you see where the wind went
When it got knocked out of me?
Do you know it was by your side?
