Deer Tick - Sea of Clouds lyrics

They worked me over
There was nothing they could see
I hid it all behind my eyes
Somewhere in a fog of a million pleasantries
I kept my secret safe inside
When we were younger and we
Couldn't help but dream
I couldn't keep you in my life
As we get older now, I cannot help but think
We've all just settled for a lie

Well, hello to your sea of clouds
Tell me, are you ever coming down?
Tell me how you never hit the ground
Tell me how you live your life so easily
As a memory

Did we make promises or did we just pretend?
Before you slipped away one night
It feels like a movie, long before the end
Someone turns on all the lights
So I played the beginning, again and again
'Til there was nothing more that I could find
Whatever you needed from me, I'm not sure
I only wish I had complied

Well, hello to your sea of clouds
Tell me, are you ever coming down?
Tell me how you never hit the ground
Tell me how you live your life so easily
As a memory

Come work me over
'cause I do not wish to hide
I hide it all behind my eyes
As we get older, can you not help but cry?
We've all just settled for a lie

Well, hello to your sea of clouds
Tell me, are you ever coming down?
Tell me how you never hit the ground
Tell me how you live your life so easily
As a memory
Well, hello to your sea of clouds
Tell me, are you ever coming down?
Tell me how you never hit the ground
Tell me how you live your life so
