lyrics

I chase a never-ending picture with a disappearing pen

She said I see the angel with a synthesizer in her hand

What's that supposed to be beside her?

Is that supposed to be a man?

Look, I did the best I can

Chorus:

Hold me down, hold me still

Love me like you always will

Kiss me like you've solved it

It starts raining on the ocean every time you send your best

It feels like someone forcing open an umbrella in my chest

There really ain't no use to talk anymore

It's raining on the ocean

It's raining on the shore

Chorus

A lovely explosion-
Unfolds its tiny wings

In a tiny box on a giant screen T.V.

Above the busy bar

I clutch my coat and

Clench my hardened heart to know that

I was younger yesterday than I ever guessed before

Climbing out of hell on a ponytail to kicked in your back door and then

I slept under our statue, the one in Mercy Park

That I said looks just like you- even more so when it's dark

Still you refused to yield

Your useless sword and shield

I woke up in the garden, I woke up in the sun

I woke up like a bullet wakes up from a gun

Too late to turn around

All hammered down and done

I'm done, I'm done, goddamn i'm through

Evangaline i'll never mean another dream of you just

Hold me down the cast will come

Hold me still off the sky

Love me like rest and ride

You always will the world awhile
