This better be something great

Clench your jaw till your teeth ache

If the building doesn't sway, then the concrete's gonna break

You need to connect the dots

And find out where I got this from

In that time, I could have died and felt perfectly alive

There are shells in the water and birds underneath

Done enough in my life to deserve the air I breathe

Now sadness this time could not mean anything to me

So I'll just sleep with a gun

My boat's out in the desert

At least it's out of my drive

There are things I wish I remembered that get lost to time

I can see it in your eyes

I can see it in your knuckles

And the whites will fade and your grip will suffer

There are shells in the water and birds underneath

Done enough in my life to deserve the air I breathe

Now sadness this time could not mean anything to me

So I'll just sleep with a gun

Parts of me love every part you don't

Structures struck up to the wind

And all of time has gone

Go and tell anyone who hears

Find your love and find me here

There are shells in the water and birds underneath

Done enough in my life to deserve the air I breathe

Now sadness this time could not mean anything to me

So I'll just sleep with a gun
