Pentimento - Almost Atlantic lyrics

...and it caught me off guard.

The way things that I was so sure of simply crumbled away.

I woke up with winter inside of bones.

I'd never been so sure of anything.

You were the ocean, I was the sand beneath your waves.

And all the things that pushed us together

Are all the things that pulled us apart.

But I figure this is best

Considering my intentions

Just to chase, chase, chase until I'm satisfied

Then throw you away.

You were the ocean. I was the sand beneath your waves.

Everything I ever was ultimately added up to so much less than I had ever hoped for.

I am the furthest thing away from what you see in me.

But there have been times when there was no difference between you and I.

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/p/pentimento/almost+atlantic_21049889.html ]

I wondered what sort of lesson was built in to all of this.

What should I take away?

Learning from this sort of thing isn't easy when

Your solutions are mistakes.

You were the ocean. I was the sand beneath your waves.

Everything I ever was ultimately added up to so much less than I had ever hoped for.

I am the furthest thing away from what you see in me.

But there have been times when there was no difference between you and I.

And you said all I ever do is run away...

I am the ocean. You are the sand beneath my waves.

Everything I ever was ultimately added up to so much less than I had ever hoped for.

I am the furthest thing away from what you see in me.

But there have been times when there was no difference between you and I.

I am the ocean. You are the sand beneath my waves
