Humming To A Sea Snail

Humming to a sea snail
Humming to a sea snail with the highest hopes
You would find it hollow
Nothing came from singing but a tired throat
And I'll be anything you want me to be
I'll be anything you want me to be

I saw you at the sea shore
Rocks at your ankles, looking tough
You're dirtying your clean hands
Wishfully thinking it could be enough
And I'll be anything you want me to be
I'll be anything you want me to be

I'll go my life ears cupped, eyes shut
Because I heard and saw things I wish I had not
I'll go my life ears cupped, eyes shut
Because I heard and saw things I wish I had not

As soon as I awaken
As soon as I awaken you'll be gone
And half of me is shaking
The other half has never been more sure
I'll be anything you want me to be
I'll be anything you want, everything you need
Anything you want me to be
