Lyrics[]
I fell off the Earth
I fell out of touch
I'm fighting every urge
To go out and get drunk
Hit my plug for some pills
For insomnia
When I'm awake
I'm just thinking of us
But we aren't the same
I wish you well
As you're praying to God
That I just burn in Hell
You see hearts like mine
They don't do well with time
They just tend to grow harder
And people like me
We don't do well at sea
'Cause I thought
I walked on water
'Cause I thought
I walked on water
I thought we'd get married
Move to the beach
But like everything I've said
It's just smoke and dreams
And I'm laying in this bed
I ain't making love
I might lose to myself
Hell, I might just give up
You see hearts like mine
They don't do well with time
They just tend to grow harder
And people like me
We don't do well at sea
'Cause I thought
I walked on water
'Cause I thought
I walked on water
And you left your shirt
In my bag out in Denver
It still smells like you
And it makes me remember
Things that we did
And the things that we didn't
The kids we don't have
And the life I ain't living
You see hearts like mine
They don't do well with time
They just tend to grow harder
And people like me
We don't do well at sea
'Cause I thought
I walked on water
'Cause I thought
I walked on water
'Cause I thought
I walked on water
