LYRIC FOR SALE

By Shawn Doll/BSMG

VERSE 1
When we were young,
All looked big from our eyes
Brick middle schools,
Packed hallways high
10 foot rims
Big buses lined
I remember those days
When the pain washes by

DARKER: VERSE 2
As life turns and winds
My belt is undone
I wake up in nowhere
Hit snooze all the hours
Get drunk on jobs wanted
Shoot beer & cheap wine
I remember those days
So much closer this time

Bridge
Who have I become
And what caused the turn
So far from their sun
So close to my burn
I needed a break
A crack in dark skies
Can grey turn some brighter?
Is it just my time?

CHORUS 1
I’ll walk on the ocean
To far away lands
To far away breezes
And far away sands
I’ll walk on the beaches
Some far and some clear
Sunburned then frozen
Far away’s near

UPTEMPO: VERSE 3
Those far away places
Dealt straight faced to me
Seems I struck aces
And wiped the felt clean
My far away places
Once way out of reach
Oceans smiled faces
And they washed right in to me

CHORUS 2
I’ll walk on the ocean
To far away lands
To far away breezes
And far away sands
I’ll walk on the beaches
Some far and some near
I’ll stumble no further
Cos far away’s here
