Ocean Breathes Salty (Poolside Remix) Lyrics by Modest Mouse

Good News For People Who Love Bad News (20th Anniversary Expanded Edition)

2024

[Verse 1: Isaac Brock]
Your body may be gone, I'm gonna carry you in
In my head, in my heart, in my soul
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both live again
Well, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, don't think so

[Chorus 1: Isaac Brock]
Well, that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
You get away from me, you get away from me
Collected my belongings and I left the jail
Well, thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell
I had to think awhile, I had to think awhile

[Verse 2: Isaac Brock]
The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?
In your head, in your mouth, in your soul
The more we move ahead the morе we're stuck in rewind
Wеll, I don't mind, I don't mind
How the hell could I mind?

[Chorus 2: Isaac Brock, Poolside, Both]
Well, that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
You get away from me, you get away from me
Collected my belongings and I left the jail
(Well, that is that and this is this)
Well, thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell
I had to think awhile, I had to think awhile

[Bridge: Isaac Brock, Poolside, Both]
Well, that is that and this is this
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed
When the ocean met the sky (You missed)
You missed when time and life shook hands and said goodbye
(You missed)
When the Earth folded in on itself (You missed)
And said "Good luck, for your sake I hope Heaven and Hell
(You missed, you missed)
Are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath"
(You missed, you missed)
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?
(You missed, you missed)
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?

[Chorus 3: Isaac Brock, Poolside, Both]
Well, that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
You get away from me, you get away from me
Well, that is that and this is this
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed
When the ocean met the sky
Well, that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
You get away from me, you get away from me
Well, that is that and this is this
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed
When the ocean met the sky (You missed)
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste the afterlife?
