Last November Aquaphobia
Pieces of the sun float in the water,
As it breaks along the horizon.
Next to the shore,
Where the ocean creeps up to my toes.
In the umbrella chair we both resemble ghost,
In the light of a runaway sun.
Ch: The ocean has brainwashed me,
Now I am constantly,
Pulled by the current,
Farther out to sea.
I would count the grains of sand,
As long as you were close by.
I would comb the beach while you brush your hair,
And we can run along the edge of this sleepy island, oh
oh.
We’ll follow the seagulls down to the docks,
And we’ll sleep till noon.
Bridge: Crossing this bridge to an island off the coast
where we can lie
under the stars every night if we want to.
Against the twilight, we are struggling to separate the
earth
from the heavens.
CH: REPEAT
Shimmering and shivering and clenching her teeth,
The cool breeze freezes her sun burnt skin,
If I could only see the steam, as it rises from her
body,
I wish I had heat vision goggles on tonight.
CH:REPEAT
And you can leave me here in the middle of the sea,
Where the sharks can devour me completely.
I’ll never add to the salty water with my tears.
