The waves they crash, like broken gla** They dance on the white water Until they meet the sand The sailors sail, as the talers tale About all the tragic nights Until we hold hands again And all this time locked in a swell Sapphire blue, like an ocean gem It fills my lungs As I breathe it in I sink deep down, and I drift away I wrapped my note in gla** And at the bottom I'll stay And all this time locked in a swell I'm trapped in the ocean, I'm lost out at sea
I fell for a girl and she's k**ing me She didn't pull the trigger, I put the gun in my hand I never could forgive her cause I'm only a man I never could forgive her cause I'm only a man I never could forgive her cause I'm only a man And all this time, locked in a swell And the bottle it floats, toward byron bay Along sails the note On my last day If it reaches the shore, an uncharted course Just break the gla** and read this verse And all this time, locked in a swell
