Sean Connolly - If I

(spoken word)
Once when we were both on fire you said that it gets better, well i’m still waiting to be put out
I started resenting the happy ones, i should have known better
But i used force when i shouldn't have, yet i still forge on

I’d be buried with you, i’m sure of it, so lower me down, way down
Bury me underneath the atlantic, underneath the salt and brine
With a shadow beast still at the edge of my bed, what is this thing that stares me down?
Some siren, piercing pale blue eyes
Octopus ink on her tendrils, it’s all still so beautifully strange

When my ship comes sailing in, it’s already sunk
But with frayed fingers, i'll try to transmit myself to you through this endless fog

(verse)
If i could just cool myself off and write you a melody
That wouldn’t even change a damn thing between you and me
If i could just get all these words out somewhat quickly
Then i could lay them out and decide what they all mean

Everyone wants to know my name, but they won’t get it
Everyone wants to see my face, but they’ll regret it

(bridge)
But every time i see you, i can’t find no words, every time i see you, i go blind
And every time i see you, i can’t find the words, every time i see you, i go blind

But love don’t take it’s time, love will always find you when you call
Love don’t take it’s time, love will always catch you when you fall
But love don’t take it’s time (they say that love will find a way)
Love will always find you when you call
Love don’t take it’s time (they say that love will find a way)
Love will always catch you when you fall

(outro)
But deep inside i’ll keep reminding myself that i’m still alive
And i’ll still spit these songs out, just to prove i’m alive
But deep inside i’ll keep reminding myself that i’m still alive
And i’ll still spit these songs out, just to prove i’m alive

And i still have the nerve to sit here and wonder why
And i’ve still got the fucking nerve to sit here and wonder why this ain’t going to plan
But i still have the nerve to sit here and wonder why
And i’ve still got the nerve to sit here and wonder why this ain’t going to plan, oh
