back when we started out
i never was around
we couldn't cast a doubt
we couldn't keep it down

you threw your own light
a vision at night
and in comes the tide
i don't wanna fight

now salt is in the air
a sunset empire
and the teeth that we share
are hung out on a wire

you were right

another year flickers by
another year flickers by
no matter how we try
the years keep flickering by.
