lyrics

As I stand beside the ocean,
Waving goodbye to you,
The waves run up and soak my shoes,
So I guess I'll have bare soles for the walk home,
It's not that far and after this nothing my body could do,
Will ever seem hard,
Like a soldier going off to war,
Like a sailor who just might go overboard,
I make my peace with the worst of outcomes,
Although, if we are speaking true, the ocean in storm,
Is a lot less scary than you,
I'm leaving and I'm not coming back
