I wanna hold you now   And listen to you breathe   It's like the ocean's sound   Whispering through the trees   In the hollow of your shoulder   There's a tidepool of my tears   Where the waves came crashing over   And the shoreline disappeared      Oh, baby, close your eyes   Fly back there with me   To where the phosphor shines   Green flashlights from the sea   And our nets were full of soft shells   And our hearts were free from toil   And we made love on the kitchen table   Until the water reached a boil      We hold it all for a little while, don't we   Kiss the dice   Taste the rain like little knives upon our tongues   We can do no wrong when the lights go on   And the music plays   And we take the stage like we own the place   As if time were cheap and the night forever young      So let them turn my soul   Seven shades of blue   And with the ocean's roar   I will wave to you   And the birds will sing my laughter   And the whales will steal my song   I'll be okay forever after   And the world will get along      We hold it all for a little while, don't we   Kiss the dice   Taste the rain like little knives upon our tongues   We can do no wrong when the lights go on   And the music plays   And we take the stage like we own the place   As if time were cheap and the night forever young
