The Ocean Breeze Is Salty – Modest Mouse

In the moment I decide to live

Another just doesn’t.

And I don’t need your alcohol to feel

This fucked up

It just comes naturally to someone

Like me and I think that maybe if I wasn’t so

Displaced I might just feel

Safe.

She says

‘I love you’ to me.

Whenever I need it

Wherever I need it

She will say ‘I love you’ to me

Just about on command.

Like a magician I simply need to

Point my wand in her direction and the words simply

Fall out from between her teeth.

‘I love you’.

And every time she says it

It’s like I’m hearing it for the first time.

‘I love you’

Any wound is bandaged and nursed

And covered and healed when she says

‘I love you’ to me.

And she makes me think that

Maybe I’m not so displaced

Because she almost makes me feel safe

When she says
I love you.

I don’t listen to songs anymore. Just talkers, words, poets, thoughts, minds out loud. I just don’t listen to songs anymore. I’ve heard the songs. They’ve all been played. And so have I. But I can’t listen to silence so I’ll settle for the mindless jabber of anyone just so long as they aren’t singing to a tune. Every tune has a memory and I don’t care for my memories anymore.
