Everyone Knows

lyrics

How many times have I told you you're not to go down to the water line
It's gonna pull you in
Everyone knows and so nobody goes
Down to the waterline out in the cove
How many times have I told you the tide will come up to your britches and drag you out into the blue
Into the blue just as I told you would happen to you
How many times have I told you that
You shouldn't do what I did years back
It's only gonna make you end up just like me
And how happy I would be if you'd end up just like

How many times have I told you you're pissin' away your future hangin' out under the sun
Everyone knows it so nobody does it
Except for the losers and they seem to love it
How many times have I told you the grindstone lies in the hills about fifteen miles from the shore
Far from the shore
Far from the calm of the ocean's roar

How many times have I told you not
To waste your time at the old rock spot
You're only gonna end up floating just like me
And how happy I would be
If you'd end up just like
How many times? How many times?
How many times have I told you that
If you waste your time at the sea
That you'll end up just like me

Now the asphalt burns we're runnin' down
The north wind gusting at thirteen miles
Blistering lips and an endless smile
And the ice plant brushes at your soul
The salty air is a feeling of home
Nostalgia mixed with leagues of unknown

How many times have I told you not
To waste your time at the old rock spot
You're only gonna end up floating just like me
And how happy I would be
If you'd end up just like how many times? How many times?
How many times have I told you that
If you waste your time at the sea
That you'll end up just like me
That you'll end up just like me at the sea
That you'll end up just like me

Dane's wavering voice will please and disturb you, Dreux's militaristic battery will trick and treat you, Pat's ghostly leads will lead and mislead you, and Matt's strutting bass-lines will cruise and lose you.
