The Only One Who Could Ever Reach You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The smell of salt hangs in the air
Heavy and pregnant with tears
How could I have ever have thought I could call this place home
(Where a sea of concrete swallows everything)
So while you paced the floor of our apartment
(A prison for two months still)
I was forcing conversation and not fitting in
Dear, there is no shame in cutting all of our losses!
Let the whole damn coast fall in
