[Verse 1]
And honestly I have been begging for answers
That you and only you can give to me
My voice crying loud, been crying for days now
And as I start to run, I stop ‘cause

[Verse 2]
(I was nearly scared to death)
And I was nearly scared to death
(by what you left in paragraphs)
By what you left in paragraphs
(The words are nearly over us)
The words were nearly over us
You’ll stop and turn and grab your bags

[Chorus]
But I'll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's sunsets and silhouette dreams
While my sandcastles fall like the ashes of a cigarettе
And every wave drags mе to sea
And I could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question, "Is everyone here make-believe?"
With a tear in His voice, He says, "Son, that's the question."
Is this deafening silence mean nothing to no one but me?

[Verse 3]
As hours move to minutes
Oh, but minutes take longer to break
I will be desperately awaiting
When my tongue won't fall apart
And we've been sitting here for hours
All alone and in the dark
[Verse 4]
And let me think of how to word it
Is it too soon to say 'perfect'?
If I could find another thirty minutes somewhere
I'm sure everything would find me
All that's left is just to sing [?]

[Bridge]
And if you sing to me sweet until then
I may never sail Virginia again
And as this current moves slow for me
This much you must know: we'll meet again
And El, I'll have you know I'm scared to death

[Chorus]
And I'll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's sunsets and silhouette dreams
All my sandcastles fall like the ashes of a cigarette
And every wave drags me to sea
And I could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question, "Is everyone here make-believe?"
With a tear in His voice, He says, "Son, that's the question."
Is this deafening silence mean nothing to no one but me?
