One Wave Short of a Shipwreck
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.
It's too late to stop.
Put your arms around me.
Need your arms around me.
I fall for your lines.
Oh it stings, it stings, it stings and you know.
Hold the needle right.
My heaven can wait.
It burns all night
While I dream awake.
Like fire every moment is floating.
It's over flowing. And I'm sinking down.
Like the earth is crashing down on me.
Can you hear me scream??
Beside her my world is getting blank.
She's a liar. She's a liar.
And suddenly all my friends disappear.
She's a liar. She's a liar.
How far can you get?
I'm now aware.
Hear the sound... Sound
Take cover, it's coming over,
it's too late to stop.
It's too late to stop.
Put your arms around me.
Need your arms around me.
I fall for your lines.
Oh it stings, it stings, it stings and you know.
Hold the needle right.
My heaven can wait.
It burns all night
While I dream awake.
Beside her my world is getting blank.
She's a liar. She's a liar.
And suddenly all my friends disappear.
She's a liar. She's a liar.
How far can you get?
I'm now aware.
Hear the sound... Sound
Take cover, it's coming over
it's too late to stop this now.
Beside her my world is getting blank.
She's a liar. She's a liar.
Hear the sound?!
I'm leaving tonight
This is the moment that I leave you in here.
This is the moment that I leave you in here.
This is the moment that I leave you in hear the sound?! Hear the sound?! Hear the sound?!
This is the moment that I leave you (goodbye)
