Every second guess Is every guess I gave you The ring that dragged you down I threw it to save you Spitting on the shore Of some exotic sandbar Your skin is peeling now You're glowing like a dead star You're wishing you were home You haven't been in years there They dragged you to that dock Got you drunk on salt air In between the swells You almost see the coastline What happened to your life? You had one when you were mine You took off with that crowd Pirates and pearl divers What happened to your life? Remember, I was here first I knew you before you sailed around the world I knew you before you sailed around the world All that water straightened out your curls I knew you before you sailed around the world
