Dover Beach
Baby Queen Lyrics

On the coastline, in the water

Your mirage is like a stalker

I should push him off the cliffside

It's true

Up in my imagination, I rehearse our conversations

And at least I'm never lonely

Even though I know you're only in my mind

And there's no point in covering my eyes, even when I try

I hear your voice over and over

Sitting on the beach of Dover

I keep wishing you were here

And I swear, I'm gonna lose it

If I keep playing your music

Everywhere I look I just see you

In my self made isolation,

You're my only inspiration

When the mirror says I'm ugly

And if anybody loves me, it's a lie

And right before I'm swallowed

By my mind and cursing at the sky

It's deep red, my broken dream

In my head if we can be together

Sand between my toes

I've got vertigo

I'm afraid of heights

If I could I'd cry
