[Verse 1: Ryan Miller, Adam Gardner, Both]
Can you remember what the future held?
A little candy ring and a mystic ocean's shell
They were anesthetized and slowly washed away
Left all the poison in the sands in which I played
[Chorus: Ryan Miller/Miller & Adam Gardner]
I don't mind falling down and scraping up my knees
Scars and stitches always fade and only strengthen me
With my eyes as wide as pearls my only centerpiece
Is taken like the dead man's urn and tossed into the sea
[Verse 2: Ryan Miller, Adam Gardner, Both]
Write me a letter
And dot your I's
And cross your T's
Nothing was everything to me
Under the monster's claws and in between his teeth
Was the shadow and a silhouette of what I'd thought I'd be
[Chorus: Ryan Miller/Miller & Adam Gardner]
I don't mind falling down and scraping up my knees
Scars and stitches always fade and only strengthen me
With my eyes as wide as pearls my only centerpiece
Is floating on the ocean's bed and floats there endlessly
Well it's taken like the dead man's urn and tossed into the sea
