Own Goal

The sea kisses your skin

The salt and the sin

The wounds and wind

Your heart clear of the shoals

The surf and your soul

An unspoken toll

It was a previous life

And we can't blame our youth and we're slow to respond

To the needs and the wants of a reckless bond

Close your eyes tight till it's fully unwound

A bed as wide as a field

We run till we yield

To the thought of a feast

And in search of a priest

As calm as my conscience allows

Impure and unproud

Lost in the clouds

It was a previous life

And we can't blame our youth and we're slow to respond

To the needs and the wants of an reckless bond

Close your eyes tight till it's fully unwound

Sea battered soul

An own flippin' goal

Why must you go

Why must you go

Why must you go
