You said, ‘Come on in, the water’s fine.’ So I busted cannonballs off across the ocean and back And you said, ‘That’s not what I meant.’ I know I took things too far sometimes But I didn’t mean to pass you by. Every day I would try catching up to you. Every day you would pull me over And ask where I was going in such a hurry. By the time I realized I had missed your point I took to asking if you would meet me, way off the mark. I’d make you dizzy and hope it felt good. You’re gone now and I get it. I had to know with my lungs what I did. Did you see where the wind went When it got knocked out of me? Do you know it was by your side?
