When I was older
I was a sailor on an open sea
But now I'm underwater
And my skin is paler than it should ever be
HmmI'm on my back again
Dreaming of a time and place
Where you and I remain the best of friends
Even after all this ends
Can we pretendI'm on my
I'm on my back again
It's seeming more and more
Like all we ever do is see how far it bends
Before it breaks in half
And than we bend it back againGuess I got caught in the middle of it
Yess I've been taught
Got a little of it in my blood
In my blood
Memories burn like a forest fire
Heavy rains turn any funeral pyre to mud
In the floodWhen I was older
I was a sailor on an open sea
But now I'm underwater
And my skin is paler than it should ever beI'm watching movies back to back
In black and white
I never seen anybody like I do it any better
Been going over you
I'm overdue for new endeavors
Nobody lonely like I'm lonely
And I don't know whetherYou'd really like it in the limelight
You'd sympathize with all the bad guys
I'm still a victim in my own right
But I'm the villain in my own eyes
YeahWhen I was older
I was a sailor on an open sea
