Justin: Well call me a sailor, cause I'm floating away, and I'm drifting away, and you won't see my face at your door, passed out on the floor, or vomit in public and embarrass your friends.
That's me on the water, on my own little island and you won't ever see me again. No I'm not coming back.
Well the moons gotten full, and the tides on the rise, and my heart is the driftwood lost long ago...
and thinking of you is like a shiver of sharks, that gnaw at the wood, and unhinge these nails of whats keeping me together.
J: This salty water has been stained across my lips, and when I move in to forget you, she can taste you in our kiss. But suddenly, I'm struggling to keep my own two feet under me. This water's deep and now I'm swallowing, these same tears that are following, our footprints on the shore.
This salty water!
Some nights I still get seasick, but every night it still makes me sick, that the only reason I rest is my floating body, my hollowed out chest.
