lyrics

Moth to the flame


Hey, what is it I’m seeing here?
People seem to change
What is it I’m seeing here?
Things have gone so strange

I keep looking for a place to go
Far from judging eyes
Forgotten all those vows from long ago
Mother’s good advice

And everywhere I go I get turning backs
When I refuse the blame
Won’t act my part
Isn’t it a shame
That we’ve grown apart
I’m a moth to the flame
You’re another broken heart

Hey, what is it you’re thinking, my friend?
Well, look how you survived
Hey, tell me what you’re drinking now, my friend?
I’ll take the first round

I’ve become so scared of the crowds
They’re breathing heavily
And I believe each word they say
Even the ones never meant for me

And everywhere I go I get turning backs
When I refuse the blame
Won’t act my part
Isn’t it a shame
That we’ve grown apart
I’m a moth to the flame
You’re another broken heart

And I try to light a way
And I try to light a way

And I go out in the night
I row out in the crowd
I row out with a blind on
Oh, the sea, what a lovely place to

Row out, in the night
I row out in the neon lights,
Out over busy streets
Oh, the sea, what a lovely place to

Row out in the night
I row out through the crowd
I row out and I roar like a whale on the oceanfloor, what a lovely

Row out in the night
I grow, shout with the tide
I stand high like a lighthouse
Oh, the sea, a lovely place to
