Locked in a Swell

The waves they crash, like broken glass
They dance on the white water
Until they meet the sand

The sailors sail, as the talers tale
About all the tragic nights
Until we hold hands again

And all this time locked in a swell

Sapphire blue, like an ocean gem
It fills my lungs
As I breathe it in

I sink deep down, and I drift away
I wrapped my note in glass
And at the bottom I'll stay

And all this time locked in a swell

I'm trapped in the ocean, I'm lost out at sea
I fell for a girl and she's killing me
She didn't pull the trigger, I put the gun in my hand
I never could forgive her cause I'm only a man
I never could forgive her cause I'm only a man
I never could forgive her cause I'm only a man
And all this time, locked in a swell

And the bottle it floats, toward byron bay
Along sails the note
On my last day
If it reaches the shore, an uncharted course
Just break the glass and read this verse

And all this time, locked in a swell
