Etcetera Whatever

Don't speak
Words come out your eyes
You're wet with this nightmare
Like thorns you hold these secrets to your breast
Your slender fingers closing into fists

Trace your bruise
Like a guilty streak
Hold the pain
You're a connoisseur
You think you have no other gift to give
But we have so much left to live

[Chorus]
We don't need a lot of money
We'll be sleeping on the beach
Keeping oceans within reach
Whatever private oceans we can conjure up for free
I will stumble there with you
And you'll be laughing close with me
Trying not to make a scene
Etcetera whatever
I guess all I really mean
Is we're gonna be alright
Yeah, we're gonna be alright
You can close your eyes tonight
'Cause we're gonna be alright

It's not as if it's a matter of will
So come on now
I can almost see
That place
On a distant shore
And courage is a weapon we must use
To find some life you can't refuse

[Chorus]
We don't need a lot of money
We'll be sleeping on the beach
Keeping oceans within reach
Whatever private oceans we can conjure up for free
I will stumble there with you
And you'll be laughing close with me
Trying not to make a scene
Etcetera whatever
I guess all I really mean
Is we're gonna be alright
Yeah, we're gonna be alright
You can close your eyes tonight
'Cause we're gonna be alright

[Outro]
I still see your eyes
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
All that I can see
Is your eyes
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
