  • Come and open up your folding chair next to me
    My feet are buried in the sand and there's a breeze
    There's a shadow, you can't see my eyes
    And the sea is just a wetter version of the skies

    Let's get a silver bullet trailer and have a baby boy
    I'll safety-pin his clothes all cool and you'll graffiti up his toys
    I've got a perfect body, though sometimes I forget
    I've got a perfect body cause my eyelashes catch my sweat
    Yes, they do, they do

    Now I've been sitting on this abandoned beach for years
    Waiting for the salty water to cover up my ears
    But every time the tide come in to take me home
    I get scared, and I'm sitting here alone
    Dreaming of the dolphin song

    Maybe one day you will understand
    I don't want nothing from you but to sweetly hold your hand
    Till that day just please don't be so down
    Don't make frowns, you silly clown

    Just come and open up your folding chair next to me
    My feet are buried in the sand and there's a breeze
    There's a shadow, you can't see my eyes
    And the waves are just a frothier version of the skies

    There's a shadow, you can't see my eyes
    There's a shadow, you can't see my eyes, eyes Writer/s: REGINA SPEKTOR
