Esplanade

Jahn

telling me you’re sinking under the waves
Is just another way to say you would drown me

When you’re sitting pretty on the powder keg
And keep lighting the fuse

you say I needed you in ways I didn’t know
And you helped me beyond my care
And all the credit that was due to you
I cast away

At first you feel the heat and then that cool evaporation of the feelings came
and the lies I threw at you

you say I needed you in ways I didn’t know
And you helped me beyond my care
And all the credit that was due to you
I cast away

I was born in books
Not from the world
from the way it seems from in front of your face

Impatient you’re leaning
The intrinsic meaning Got lost in the bargain bin

telling me you’re sinking under the waves
Is just another way to say you would drown me
