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
