Back to the Sea Lyrics by The Futureheads

News and Tributes

0

Did you stop to think
When we moved by the sea
When the seasons change
When the seasons change
They change for a reason
I'm not talking lightly
I don't need to set the scene
We're living in it
We're living in it
It's in everything we see
I won't go back to the sea
Whatever's pulling you isn't pulling me
I won't go back to the sea
Did you really think that this is what we need?
When I'm dragging my feet
Avoiding sleep
Trying to make you see
It's reached the situation where it's the job or me
It's the job or me
If you're asking me, then the job is part of me
I won't go back to the sea
Whatever's pulling you isn't pulling me
I won't go back to the sea
It's not what you put in
But what you take away
That leaves you wanting more
Now that you're counting down the days
You've taken all the tools
And suffered nothing in return
This place that you call paradise
Will teach a lesson you deserve
I won't go back to the sea
Whatever's pulling you isn't pulling me
I won't go back to the sea
I won't go back to the sea
Whatever's pulling you isn't pulling me
I won't go back to the sea
