Lyrics :
There’s a mariners church where my friend and I’d go
When we wanted our talk cheap and our coffee cold
Silent gray men at the tables alone
Watching newspapers fade and old friends get old
Loneliness means different things to each person
To me open water’s as low as room service
And I don’t think I could go on for so long
Away from a love without fearing its gone
Maybe if I was a kid again
I could hold you without my hands
Killing time in my fantasies
Center stage dressed in velveteen
Felt real to me
I know you think that I’m crazy
But you look like crushes I had who are now pushing daisies
And I don’t understand why,
I don’t understand time, but I try
I've always been drawn to the things that hold up
Played you Arthur McBride as you filled up your cup
Kind of song that sounds like its always been sung
Born in the soil, and grown straight up, through the mud
I was falling so hard for you
Watched my eyes change from green to blue
Never said it was love I was feeling
Called it fun and then stared at the ceiling
Like I’m supposed to do
And when I get older I know you will be
One of ten million faces I’ve seen
But I will hear every word you said
’Til my ears rot away from my head
’Til I’m too far gone to be dead
’Til there’s nothing but silence left
’Til there’s nothing but silence left
