Does it haunt you The way it haunts me Standing on the shoreline Two am it’s freezing Salt in my lungs You cannot see me Held on too long Watched the tide go out We did it all wrong I pushed you inside me I watched the fire spark At the hint of lightning Brushed the hair from your eyes In a mania that was almost frightening I didn’t know how to trick my pulse Slow it down or look away All I really knew was I wanted you to stay.

Does it haunt you The way it haunts me Standing on the shoreline Two am it’s freezing Salt in my lungs You cannot see me Held on too long Watched the tide go out We did it all wrong I pushed you inside me I watched the fire spark At the hint of lightning Brushed the hair from your eyes In a mania that was almost frightening I didn’t know how to trick my pulse Slow it down or look away All I really knew was I wanted you to stay.
