lyrics

Back down inside then you gave all your marbles to me
Afloat together in the middle of the round sea
We live in a dream, sewed between the seams
Behind the paper coating on a jar

Sometimes at dinner you'd slip in my drink your magic potion
And we'd ride together inside of this spherical ocean

What will I do when she's gone, she's gonna leave before long
I'll always find someone of that kind
But give me one more chance to speak my mind
She used to tell me that I was only
Waiting to see what would happen after
All had been finished and done
She said I'd feel the same about anyone

"Do that, don't," we said to our hypothetical daughter
Holding our oxygen under the circular water

What do you think would happen
If I could show you, if I could tell you my mind
Cover my eyes when I go blind
And give to me your love so cruel and so unkind
Make me understand the person that I find
And hold me in your arms when I'm inside my mind
There is a picture to see
It's so important to me

If we could transform, you ask me what I'd like to be
But all I want to do is stay with you on the round sea
The round sea
