Sea Legs
(Addie Brownlee)
---
I've got good sea legs
From a year of trying to find my footing
And I'm missing my home
Even more than I should
You're as nice an idea as the ocean is blue
Especially if you were true
So much destruction in your wake
I woke and watched you dreaming
So there are no mistakes
And only variations on a theme
And you can hide a child in the body of a man
And you can take more than you think you can
Forget all the lessons we learned
You should have been good to me
Forget all the lessons we learned
You should have been true
Forget all the lessons we learned, the lessons we learned
You could have been good to me
I was your preacher your teacher
Your lesson learned
I'll be the empty handed reaper
Looking back on all the soil she's turned
You can shiver in the sun, bottled up and burnt
I wish you'd been everything you weren't
Forget all the lessons we learned
You should have been good to me
Forget all the lessons we learned
You should have been true
Forget all the lessons we learned, the lessons we learned
You should have been good to me
Forget all the lessons we learned
You should have been good to me
Forget all the lessons we learned
You should have been true
Forget all the lessons we learned, the lessons we learned
You could have been good to me
I've got good sea legs
From a year of trying to find my footing
