i laid all i had on the table
i built up the courage, not mentally stable
would have sent it off sooner if able
but you were too busy with the girl you had labeled
and i didn't want to intrude, didn’t mean to be rude

‘cause you are the sky, i’m the ocean
i’m easily triggered by your emotions
my waters are being tied down, by the silence you've found
but lately i’m wanting a sound

and i don’t need a witty reply
jokes are cute sometimes but i’m
tired of reading in between the lines
don’t tell me just show me your mind

whatever it is that you say
just know that i’ll be okay
i’ll move on to another day

‘cause i don’t need to see it on paper
at the core of my bones i want you to erase her
but i’ll bury my thoughts sooner or later
your actions enough will leave me feeling safer 
do i stay where my world’s adrift 
waiting for the next ship 
‘cause lately i’m losin’ it

and i don’t need a witty reply
jokes are cute sometimes but i’m
tired of reading in between the lines
don’t tell me, just show me your mind
