lyrics

It's okay, don't move. I'll get the door and your suit; brought it straight from the cleaners, it still smells just like you. Don't know what more you could want than to be loved this strong. If your depression's an ocean, picture me an ark. But you're a ghost underwater and a bloodless brother, taking aim at the moon, draping drop-cloth on the sun. I can navigate the fact you can't find safe passage in me, just do yourself a favor, don't hold your breath when you sink. 'Cause no one likes a river when it overflows. The cold comes quickest to the shoreline's little skipping stones, and you're Sticky Fingers spinning as the porch begins to splinter. I bet that vessel's looking real fine, but you can't get independence off your mind. You better call up for the rope or learn to float on your own. "What merchant's ships have my sighs drown'd,"* baby? If anything, I pulled your cargo to safety. You left your Sunday best to the wasted. Oh, patient me, forever dressed in placation. Splinters in the drinking well and salt in your blood, the waters parted in the dark but you're still dreaming of comas. A suit looks best with a dress pressed close to the vest, but you've conditioned the stitching to snag on sea salt and splinters.
