WATER
The Beautiful Girls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
underneath a perfect sky somewhere very far away.
Fools playing in their paradise,
all we can do is try to find our way back one of these days.
I had a dream of falling stars and ocean waves were rolling me.
Caught up it seems i'm a goona get way too lonely
here up in this scene.
Strang people walking 'round missing everything,
that we can see and that will never change.
Not perfect but i feel ok,
fools waste their time on wishing things away,
dreaming of better days.
Caught underneath a mountain of reef and hoping,
i'll see you when you go.
I'm a rolling away,
i'm a get on my way,
'cause i don't wanna be late on my way home.
Like water let worries drift away.
Drift away.
