12 Deaf

[Hook] x 2
I was sleeping with the ocean
And flirting with the sea
And lo and behold, the time has come
And fear takes over me

[Verse 1]
Maybe I'll never learn
Brain just blinded by what one sees, believe
Some day I know I'll burn, then yearn
For normal-type lives and white-washed walls and a mug of tea
I'm so predictable
Cards laid out, no sleight of hand
Via cheap cologne and soon-gone-hair
That moonlight stare just seems so here and now

[Hook] x 2

[Verse 2]
You could be anyone
I've won strange faces, now the love I seek
I embrace anyone
My love is cheap and unique and seeks a likely home
But don't tell anyone
They may not get my odd ways and seek to burn me out
But life's too short to quiver and I won't deliver a line
That swallows me whole

[Hook] x 2
