Beachfires.
Updated: Feb 28, 2022

Blame me if you want to
There's a long line of people in that regard
But don't dare say you didn't know I love you
Cause you know I love you hard
When you say sorry I'm not sure
You even know what that means
But you see pieces
And you're careful
You step right inbetween
While you're stepping over me
I brought myself the ocean
Cause the ocean makes more sense
And I can see here when I'm blind
Yeah I've been drinkin' by myself
This woman's touching my hair
And asking if I mind
I say, please stay, you say no.
I point out there's weather but you still go
And the waves keep crashing
While the beachfires blow the ashes out to sea
Darlin with the rest of me
I'm not a local
But the hard times and my old hat fit me in
They see my choices
And my faces
And they know I didn't win
When you say I love you I'm not sure
You even know what that does
Cause you see changes
And you're careful
Not to be the cause
But do you see what that does?
I brought myself the ocean
Cause the ocean keeps good times
And makes it easy to pass the past
Yeah uh I've been drinking by myself
The seagulls on this bar wall blur
And I'm losin the contrast
I said I'm dead
You said so
I got better but you still go
And the waves keep crashing
While the beachfires blow the ashes out to sea
Darlin' with the rest of me
I brought myself the ocean
Cause the ocean clarifies
Because the ocean is bigger than you
Yeah uh I've been drinking by myself
I did play one set last night
That I barely got through
And we say
Today
You don't show
I still swearin sorry for things
I don't know
And the waves keep crashing
While the beachfires blow the ashes out to sea
Darlin with the rest of me
It would've been nice to know you love me
But I don't see a next time
You're busy unpacking another
And there's no time for tracking mine
When you say I want you
I'm not sure you're even talking to me
You see a line
And you're careful
Not to get blown to sea
Were you even talking to me?
And I brought myself the ocean
Cause I can't find the words
And that's funny cause I write songs
Yeah, uh, I've been drinking by myself
These bar friends probably aren't friends
And I probably don't belong
I say, please stay, you say no
You got through my letters
But you still go
And the waves keep crashing while the beachfires blow the ashes
I say, please stay, you say no
I'm so much better now
But you still go
And the waves keep crashing while the beachfires blow the ashes
And the waves keep crashing while the beachfires blow the ashes
And the waves keep crashing while the beachfires blow the ashes
Out to sea
Darlin with the rest of me
