The Offing Lyrics by Jason Nolan

Wonder Years

2016

[Intro]
One
Two
Three
Four, two, one, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
And even when it folds don't hold
That's what she said when she used to call (she used to call)
And as the cockle sinks, don't sink, don't sink for me
And heavy in the sun, don't run, don't run
We used to crawl (we used to crawl)
To bottle or bewitch
Don't switch, don't swim for me (swim for me, swim for me)
[Verse 2]
And only in the snow
Don't go, is what she said but used to stall (she used to stall)
And though its hard to take
Don't wait, don't wait for me (wait for me)
Until the curtain calls, don't call
Don't call though the beach's swept away
And though its hard to sleep
Don't stall, don't reach for me (reach for me)
[Chorus]
I hate when it comes to the fore
Don't you know that it's hard to ignore
Don't you realise I'm here on the floor
Won't be us soon if there's one thing for sure
Yes I know that it's been quite a while
It still hurts when I'm catching your smile
I've been walking away now for miles
But I'm still by the shore
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Wait, hold stop (I hate when it comes to the fore)
We'll move from the waves, we're moving away (don't you know that it's hard to ignore)
Don't tell me, wait, hold, stop (don't you realise I'm here on the floor)
We'll move from the waves, we're moving away (won't be us soon if there's one thing for sure)
Don't tell me, wait, hold, stop (yes I know that it's been quite a while)
We'll move from the waves, we're moving away (it still hurts when I'm catching your smile)
Don't tell me, wait, hold, stop (I've been walking away now for miles)
We'll move from the waves, we're moving away (but I'm still by the shore)
Don't tell me
