lyrics

I been sick to my ears since I came aboard
From my mind to her hair to the things she wore
When we land I might leave her waiting by the shore

First few weeks here were bliss but I don't know how
To get away since she cut the rope and broke the bow
Might be trapped but my lips will never pass this vow

It's okay cause I'm walking when I say that
Only a fool would stay, come what might and come what may
Happiness floating in a sea of misery
I took the enemy I knew for the one I couldn't see

She played the fog like a friend and gained the upper hand
Cut me quickly down once I had been on the mend
The rules of war have no meaning when your with this girl
You pull your punches out of fairness and she'll rock your world

But it's okay cause I'm walking when I say that
Only a fool would stay, come what might and come what may
Happiness floating in a sea of misery
I took the enemy I knew for the one I couldn't see

Field and forest we would go and
Tell tales from long ago and
Dream bigger dreams than we could bear

She climbed inside throwing bombs from behind her wall
I was too shaken and too blind to strike back at all
She pulled me underground where I would start to scheme and plan
All situations that were better than the one at hand
And for a time I was lost there in a fantasy
Desiring things I wouldn't dream of having done to me

But it's okay cause I'm walking when I say that
Only a fool would stay, come what might and come what may
Happiness floating in a sea of misery
I took the enemy I knew for the one I couldn't see
