"Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream" she said
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
And threw her arms around my neck
"Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
"Why are you so far away?" she said
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you"

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven

    General Comment:This is favorited, this is on the song list for my wedding, etc. Done. It should be on the next interstellar record. It's songwriting for the ages.

    General Comment:If you look at the lyrics quite literally, this song reminds me of my relationship with my military boyfriend. All I want to do is "run away" with him to where he's stationed, and the part about "why are you so far away, why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you" is kind of like when we have a lack of communication because of some orders that he has, or like in boot camp and what not. "Dancing in the deepest oceans, twisting in the water, you're just like a dream" and "found myself alone above a raging sea, that stole the only girl I loved, and drowned her deep inside of me" is like when he's deployed (he's Navy), and you can only think about each other. I know that's not what it is about, but the story in the lyrics seems to outline our relationship perfectly, so that's what it means to me!

    General Comment:This song is just sad. Dreamy at the beginning, but really lonely at the ending. This is the theme song of my life, now and forever...

    General Comment:At least people aren't saying it's about drugs. Oh, wait, that would be an ELLIOTT Smith song.

    General Comment:This song is about an climaxing, as immature as it may sound, its pretty clear
