Walking on the beach going left before where you were on the right
Because you were so gorgeous and perfect we had to get my story, age, and alibi tight
When the bottle landed on you, I still remember how it felt to be so scared
And then when you spun and it landed back on me - it made me more aware
I remember sitting on the beach kissing with a bottle, just me and you
I remember the first time I ever felt the thrill of a love that was brand new

Some many memories still filling in, all in split seconds
Kinda like a lifeline… when you’re entire life and destiny flashes as your God beckons
(The cousin of death)


I remember the feelings, the only time emotional became physical inside of me
Kinda like the way it does when it’s opposite going thru insanity
Laying out on the beach when you sat on my face
Or walking side by side down the beach talking music…
Memories that time couldn’t ever replace

And in the pool, I remember, you jumped out and was sure to cover me
I have a feeling you still do and you are my only peace and comfort thru my recovery
If I’ve been selfish, I’m sorry – cause really that’s anything else but to be me
And if it seems like I’m too sure - it’s just because I know my family is my destiny
And in the love that we made came a storm after that still hasn’t broken us
I never in my life understood before what it meant when they say ashes to ashes, dust to dust
(It isn’t lust)


Don’t ever forget the reason they threw me in the pool
Cause when you stressed, what you think I’m here for fool?
And everything else…
I contradicted every word that the song bytes sing
It is all different and nah I don’t need the ring
I need you… and the kids too

I need it all back and the hope of which keeps me going…
And everything else that burns inside of us without even knowing
I got back up and stood back up because of you, and because you did too
It’s the one thing I swear to save my last breath for…
So I can whisper it back to you
