recently,

Hand in hand

The flowers understand

That we're fine, you and I

Hands are tied

I don't mind

I'll make you be okay

But recently

Everyone says they are seeing less of me

I could do better if I had energy

Be like I used to be

And frequently

I picture myself walking straight into the sea

Laughing as the waves come rolling to my knees

What a place to be

Side by side

You keep me safe from their static getting through

Please be fine

It's too late now to go leave you behind

But recently

Everyone says they are seeing less of me

I could do better if I had energy

Be like I used to be

And frequently

I picture myself walking straight into the sea

Laughing as the waves come rolling to my knees

What a place to be

And it's a lovely day for swimming

Pretend I didn't see the red flags that said, "Don't go"

'Cause if a storm out there's beginning

I'll find it for myself and not 'cause someone told me so

Recently

Everyone says they are seeing less of me

I could do better if I had energy

Be like I used to be

And frequently

I picture myself walking straight into the sea

Laughing as the waves come rolling to my knees

What a place to be
