Sharks keep swimming off the pier underwater
They're just shadows if they stop then they'll die
We should try to be just like those sharks that we see
We can't stay frozen in this spot
Is it the way you feel that makes you still?
Your body is paralyzed
So, c'mon c'mon
List the possibilities
One: you leave your life
And run away with me
I know. I'm sure
No need to be so demure
Let's keep on talking
See the way the water laps the shore
See the sand slide off into the tide
Dragged down deep your soul is just like the sand
If you stay here just one more night
Is it the way you feel that makes you still?
Your body is paralyzed
So, c'mon c'mon
List the possibilities
One: you leave your life
And run away with me
I know. I'm sure
I checked every open door
Let's list the scenarios
Two: you can stay
And you'll waste your life away
The nights will be cold
And the days will all be gray
I know. I'm sure
I checked every open door
It's all dead ends and stiff headwinds
No place for a creature like you
So, c'mon c'mon
List the possibilities
One: you leave your life
And run away with me
I know. I'm sure
I checked every open door
Let's list the scenarios
Two: you can stay
And you'll waste your life away
The nights will be cold
And the days will all be gray
I know. I'm sure
I checked every open door
Like three: You're not free
Four: You'd abhor
Five: You don't survive
Six: You can't fix
Seven: It's not heaven
Eight: It's not great
Nine: You're not fine!
And ten?!

Are you back home now?
Do you even care?
Did you come correct
Did you wash those blues
Out of your hair
Did you like how I
Said I wouldn't stare
And yet here I am
Like a spotlight shined
On your affairs
Like a thief, he's coming in the night
And turning on your lights, he's gotta lot of nerve
He's stealing your dreams and he's causing a scene
Got to give him what he deserves
Try not to be
E - motional
M - ade your choice gave it a chance and now
O - h I know you feel let down but
T

Try not to be
It wasn't all fiction
Feelings you cultivate
You didn't pyramid scheme
Variations of the mean
How much was fake
From a soft landing
You'd kiss him awake
To a sunspot beam
With friction in the seams
Until it would ache
Like a thief, he's coming in the night
And turning on your lights, he's gotta lot of nerve
He's stealing your dreams and he's causing a scene
Got to give him what he deserves
Try not to be
E - motional
M - ade your choice gave it a chance and now
O - h I know you feel let down but
T
I
O
N

L
Try not to be
On your own
For the first time you're on your own

Cynthia, have you heard?
The kids got a new word
It's in the dictionary and everything
The years quickly have unfurled
We're wandering a twilight world
It passed without us even noticing
My whole world is made up for you
Long I have waited only for you
Cynthia, do you recall
Those late nights in the fall
We'd speak of the universe's enigmas
Cynthia, did we try our best
In those stale hotel rooms I'd watch you undress
Fumbling like dazed teenage lovers
My whole world is made up for you
Long I have waited only for you
