Sunset, 1989 - Swimming With Dolphins

I was born in 1989 All we could do No shakes or coughs or burst relief Or lists of all our things Just minutes making minds I was born in 1989 All we could do But the makers never made The comers never came But I, I still felt that awful news It was patience that we had And the miles that we had left That held us there Until we could let go I was born in 1989 And it'll be over soon No moon children nor people's sun No ringing in my ears When I, Istill felt that awful news It was patience that we had And the miles that we had left That held us there Until we could let go It was patience that we had And the miles that we had left That held us there Until we could let go I was born in 1989 All we could do It was patience that we had And the miles that we had left That held us there Until we could let go It was patience that we had And the miles that we had left That held us there Until we could let go

Short of money, full of life Things changing every other night Eventually, in time In circles when I rewind She takes her time on it It's alright, darling Black and white drawings And I know why I know why Won't you change your mind? You're lost in 1989 Take me to the other side You're lost in 1989 Ordinary lullaby Been gazing in the sunlight Remember me, in time In circles when I rewind She takes her time on it It's alright, darling Black and white drawings And I know why I know why Won't you change your mind? You're lost in 1989 Take me to the other side Infatuation takes its time Sleeping on a Sunday night I'm in the backseat of my mind Reminisce about your eyes You're lost in 1989 (Cool sports, yeah) (Cool sports, yeah) (Cool sports, yeah) (Cool sports, yeah) (Cool sports, yeah) (Cool sports, yeah) Won't you change your mind? You're lost in 1989 Take me to the other side Infatuation takes its time Sleeping on a Sunday night I'm in the backseat of my mind Reminisce about your eyes You're lost in 1989

Goodbye 1989, I wanna be the one in control Rock my white shoes, polo tie The next big thing for five years running It's not your turn It's not your turn yet (Woo) Back off, you little shits Gnawing at my bits I see they breed you by the boatload Back off, you little whores Get 'em on all fours And let me beat you to the fucking punch bowl My body's not even cold! My act is just getting old! Goodbye 1989, I wanna be the one in control Rock my white shoes, polo tie The next big thing for five years running It's not your turn It's not your turn yet (Woo) Back off, you little shits Gnawing at my fists I see they breed you by the boatload Back off, you little whores Get 'em on all fours And let me beat you to the fucking punch bowl My body's not even cold! My act is just getting old! Oh, oh, oh (Woo!) Some babies wanna get down like this We hate what we like Oh, oh, oh (Woo!) Some babies wanna get down like this We hate what we like Back off, you little shits Gnawing at my bits I see they breed you by the boatload Back off, you little whores Get 'em on all fours And let me beat you to the fucking punch bowl My body's not even cold! My act is just getting old!

Praying that the pain stops Counting all the tear drops falling on your pillow Guess he hit a weak spot Heard it was a cheap shot, hate to say, "I told you so" Yeah, it's a joke How many hits till your sweet bones finally break? And how many nights all alone is it going to take? He's got a hold of your heart now, baby And you don't even know He's got a hold of your heart now, baby That's why I have to let you go That's why I have to let you go, oh Told me that you're alright I can see you're not quite the girl you were before Will it take a landslide To help you decide there's nothing left anymore? Yeah, it's a joke How many hits till your sweet bones finally break? And how many nights all alone is it going to take? Well, I guess I oughta back down I thought you would come around Guess I oughta back down 'Cause you are nowhere to be found This is what you wanted now So is this how you pictured it? And this is what you wanted now The two can be so different He's got a hold of your heart now, baby And you don't even know He's got a hold of your heart now, baby And you don't even know He's got a hold of your heart now, baby That's why I have to let you go That's why I have to let you go, oh, oh He's got a hold of your heart now, baby And you don't even know He's got a hold of your heart now, baby That's why I have to let you go That's why I have to let you go, oh Gotta let you go, I gotta let you go

Live to work, work to live No time left to spend or give Walking like a bureaucrat Talking like a diplomat Always look into their eyes Firm handshakes, quick replies Push the product, sell the crop Climb that ladder to the top But what if it's not meant for me? I can't stand the symmetry My head is stuck inside the clouds But I can see clearly now I'm trying to find the means To living more passionately 'Cause I'm not who I wanna be Buried in routines I don't care what happens to me I just gotta get free I am no proprietor Tell that to my dear father Taught me everything he knew About nothing that I wanna do Earned awards, honors, degrees I couldn't find myself in these So took my car keys and ID's And threw them in the ocean Now all of the world is laying Right before my eyes I wonder why the hell it took so long For me to recognize I'm trying to find the means To living more passionately 'Cause I'm not who I wanna be Buried in routines I don't care what happens to me I said, I am trying to find the means To living more passionately 'Cause I'm not who I wanna be Buried in routines I don't care what happens to me I just gotta get free I just gotta get free Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

I wasn't looking for things to do I wasn't looking for something new But that's when I found you That's when I found you You took my hand and we took it slow We fell together like flakes of snow On a blanket down below On a blanket down below And you said, "Does anything feel strange?" 'Cause you're like a perfect dream and I'm afraid to awake I'll lose it all somehow 'cause ever since you came I've been living in a holiday, a holiday So I dream a little more, dream a little more 'Cause I can't shake this feeling So tell me why did your feet get cold I know intentions are as good as gold Even good things just get old Even good things just get old I gotta know when to act real tough You never thought that I was good enough So I just kept giving up Yeah, we're always giving up Does anything feel strange? 'Cause you're like a perfect dream and I'm afraid to awake I'll lose it all somehow 'cause ever since you came I've been living in a holiday, a holiday, yeah, yeah, yeah So I'm standing at your door Tears falling like the rain And I'm calling out your name 'Cause I know you hear me Do you remember me? I'm the one you thought you could never leave Remember me? Yes, I'm the one you thought you could never leave Does anything feel strange? 'Cause you're like a perfect dream that I can't seem to escape I wanna lost it all somehow 'cause every since you came I've been living in a holiday, a holiday, yeah, yeah, yeah Now every flame just goes cold And all the summers fade No one that I hold can make me feel quite the same 'Cause ever since you came I've been living in a holiday, a holiday So I dream a little more, dream a little more 'Cause I can't shake this feeling

I bought a track jacket, some running shoes I had no pockets so I had nothing to lose Took a run from all my winter blues Till it was summer And every cul-de-sac and avenue Tried to turn my back then my ambitions grew It reminded me of the feelings I once knew When I was a lover Ooh, ooh, la da, da, da If we were lovers, if we were lovers I started feelin' bad, I thought of you All the plans you have are always fallin' through You really need someone you can run to To be your cover I really hope I change, I'll come back then And we'll try this all over again Till then I'll wonder how it could've been If we were lovers Ooh, ooh, la da, da, da If we were lovers, if we were lovers Ooh, ooh, la da, da, da If we were lovers, if we were lovers There is a time everything will find it's place in line But all my dreams get in the way, oh, oh, oh There is a time everything will find it's place in line But all my dreams get in the way Put on my track jacket, those running shoes I've got no pockets so I've got nothing to lose I'm gonna run from all my winter blues Until we're lovers Ooh, ooh, la da, da, da If we were lovers, if we were lovers Ooh, ooh, la da, da, da If we were lovers, if we were lovers
