I'm watching the tide, sitting, sitting in the sand Waiting for a song to write, creeping, creeping behind the mountain Holy water has nothing on this And the world will go on when I cease to exist Every wave that breaks is a second that I cannot replace And when I feel like this I wish, I wish I could shut it off What would I live like, worry, worry all the time Shouldn't be a surprise, it's easy, easy to be terrified Oh believe me, I've tried everything I'm still sitting on needles and pins Every breath I take is a second that I cannot replace And when I feel like this I wish, I wish I could shut it off Every breath I take is a second that I cannot replace And when I feel like this I wish, I wish I could shut it off
