The Party That Never Ends

When I was five years old I fell off a boat In my godmother's lake Because I was holding onto the rail too hard My older sister says I was underwater For only enough time to just about avoid death by drowning But I remember sinking All the way down to the bottom Where I saw creatures I still don't recognize to this day Some of them spoke to me I don't think I was the same thing I was before By the time they pulled me out But maybe that's not such a bad thing I've realised recently that it doesn't really matter I've been running for a long, long time For years I know I can't find what I'm looking for And I've wasted so much time But I don't regret a thing I've changed I've done so much Seen so much I've slept weeping And weeping I've waked Tears like you wouldn't believe But laughter too So much laughter So much love I thought my body was different I thought I could never die But now I know I know the truth My head hurts but I know the truth I know that love is the only thought And pain is the only feeling And I'm ready to dance I don't know what happened to me But I don't really care anymore One day I was asleep Another awake So what? All I've ever wanted was to move to the music To be at a party that never ended They used to chase me with hammers down the street Boohoo right? But I'm ok I would have liked to lose it all with you I would have liked to lose myself Lose myself the way I used to long ago Back when I still had some life left in me I would close my eyes And be in a great big forest Or on an empty beach at sunrise Or in some strange and beautiful city It's night time but the birds are singing The streets are dead But they look great in the moonlight And I'm just walking along them I'm looking for something to love But it's not that big a deal It's raining But I'm alright I'm just walking I'm ready I'm ready to move I'll always love you But I've got to go now They're all waiting for me It's been real Goodbye
