Morning drowned you in the silence 

Washed up on a traffic island 

On my shoulder 

Sighing I'm so tired 



And the thing that hurts you is the beauty 

To be denied it feels like cruelty 

But here inside it 

There must be somewhere that we can hide 



Sailing in style 

Our needles and blue pills 

For sowing the holes in our reverie 

So why can't we linger awhile 

Our heads in the white sand 

Our hearts on the open sea 



Before they flay you of your daydreams 

Grind your diamonds into hay seeds 

Won't we find out 

How the beautiful tragedy ends 



As we share our last desperate kiss 

I'm just glad we could go out like this 

With our backs to the wall 

Dreaming of freedom 



Sailing in style 

Our needles and blue pills 

For sowing the holes in our reverie 

Oh, why can't we linger awhile 

Our heads in the white sand 

Our hearts, well they'll always be 



Stones in the ocean 

Worn smooth by perpetual motion 

And I'll drown if I ever leave you 

This far down, there's nowhere to flee to 



Sailing in style 

Our needles and blue pills 

Have washed me as high as I'll ever be 

So why can't we stay all our lives 

Our heads in the white sand 

Our hearts on the open sea 

Yeah, we left our hearts 

On the open sea
