Dark daydreamer,

silent singer -

waiting wanderer

of the sparkling seas,

party pirates tip their hats

and today I forget:

like what?

I've got my girlfriends,

and they're there for me

like no other

can. I've got my friends

by my side

and bygones are bygones

(so why not let them be?)

We talk about oceans

on sea fringes

and world upon world

changes and the way we do

that.

The way you do that

in small, small worlds

made for small, small people

like us.

Big dreams, big hopes

big wants -

we're always going to want for more

and hunt you down;

we want more,

want all that you've got,

don't you see?

Bad bitches

daylight itches

and hopeful inklings

of futures, and keys and padlocks

we're somewhere

between

A and B

like what

like what's with that?

Step -

tip-toe you know

step back

we're not on that track

yet.
