There are seven salted seas
That I have bled for you
In this burden of disease
I am wed to you
Do you remember everything
I ever said to you?

If you do, tell me true,
Is this fire something new?
Or did you feel it all the way
Towards the way it is today?

Oh, baby, when you act so strange
It's like I'm waiting for a light to change
Like I'm finally gonna break away
Gonna find a way to break these chains
And find you waiting for me

There are no flowers in the field
Where we'll be married
Only the dirt that covers
Everything we've buried
They will cower in the dark
When it gets scary

When they do, tell me true,
Am I a seed that never grew?
Or was I growing in the rain
Of just another diamond day?

Oh, baby, when you act so strange
It's like I'm waiting for a light to change
Like I'm finally gonna break away
Gonna find a way to break these chains
And find you waiting for me

In this pair of suited hearts
One of the twos is three
What a pair of perfect parts
This two part symphony
Turn up the bass on the piano
'Til it's deafening

We'll see it through, me and you,
Like we almost always do,
Like a chord that fell somewhere
Between the dimming and the dew?

Oh, baby, when you act so strange
It's like I'm waiting for a light to change
Like I'm finally gonna break away
Gonna find a way to break these chains
And find you waiting for me
