To The Sea
Boy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lost my mind in the open sea
Found you there looking back at me
All my troubles melted in your hands

Followed you down to see where you go
What do you do and who do you know
Followed you through the walls and into the floor
In my heart I’ve tried for so long
To keep it together keep it all strong
But sometimes there’s always something besides the inside

You drew a cross on my head
Told me not to walk but to run instead
You told me that I’d know when the feeling drops

Feeling high
Feeling low
Moving fast
Going slow
Feeling better
Feeling quick
Change in the weather
Feeling sick

You say you’re tired of being alone so you just make up your mind
But now your mind is made up you just want to be alone all the time
I’ve been looking for you creature since God only knows when
But all that I found was a trail of broken women and men

Lost my mind in the open sea
Found you there looking back at me
All my troubles melted in your hands
Your hands
Your hands
Your hands
Your hands




Your hands
Your hands

I can't believe that in a Video about a water based superhero, nobody's mentioned that your surname is Coast
Someone dozens of generations back set you up for this perfect pun
