Choke

Leave all your clothes buried in the sand
Who knows when we'll be coming back again
Come on in, the water's getting cold
See if you sink or swim or float
When the tide came in, we tried to act surprised
What could the ocean want with the things that we left behind
Swimming back to land and I realized
It was the only time that year I felt alive
We booked a one way going overseas
Feels like I'm living someone else's dream
I tried my best to keep from turning back
I'm scared you may have been my better half
I'm on the edge about to choke
About to choke, about to choke
I'm on the edge about to choke
About to choke, about to choke
The story ends the same as it began
I never know when I'll be coming around again
Staring at the sand I realized
It was the only time that year that I felt alive
I'm on the edge about to choke
About to choke, about to choke
I'm on the edge about to choke
About to choke, about to choke
