swim to the buoy

Maybe we were just too scared alone

Compact disc and a flipping phone

Your penmanship was perfect

Cursive in my mind

Waiting on a beach where nobody came

Watch you with your big feet

Kicking the waves

I'd rather be with friends

Cooking my brain

Playing video games

And I see you

See you out in the water

Somewhere you're meant to be

I see you

See you out in the water

Somewhere you're meant to be

See a sliver of light

See the sky divide

And I kept your watch

Not for telling the time

I get so wrapped up in other people's minds

Could you tell what was on my mind

See the faded light on the distant ships

And I still feel a little emptiness

I thought by this point I'd be stronger than I am

I see you out in the water

Somewhere you're meant to be

And I see you

See you out in the water

Somewhere you're meant to be

See a sliver of light

See the sky divide

And I kept your watch

Not for telling the time

I get so wrapped up in other people's minds

(Somewhere you're meant to be)

Could you tell what was on my mind

See the faded light on the distant ships

And I still feel a little emptiness

(See you out in the water)

I thought by this point I'd be stronger than I am
