Seven Seas Lyrics

[00:21.46] Stab a sorry heart with your favorite finger
[00:28.49] Paint the whole world blue
[00:31.27] And stop your tears from stinging
[00:35.99] Hear the cavemen singing
[00:39.45] Good news they're bringing
[00:44.41] Seven seas
[00:48.02] Swimming them so well
[00:51.60] Glad to see my face among them
[00:56.62] Kissing the tortoise shell
[01:00.82]
[01:04.93] A longing for some fresher feeling
[01:11.61] Belonging or just forever kneeling
[01:19.14] Where is the sense in stealing
[01:22.36] Without the grace to be it
[01:27.41] Seven seas
[01:30.92] Swimming them so well
[01:34.42] Glad to see my face among them
[01:39.76] Kissing the tortoise shell
[01:44.90]
[02:04.52] Burning my bridges and smashing my mirrors
[02:07.76] Turning to see if you're cowardly
[02:11.60] Burning the witches with mother religious
[02:14.89] You'll strike the matches and shower me in water games
[02:21.95] Washing the rocks below
[02:25.58] Taught and tamed in time with tear flow
[02:32.49] Seven seas
[02:35.96] Swimming them so well
[02:39.44] Glad to see my face among them
[02:44.84] Kissing the tortoise shell
[02:47.74] Seven seas
[02:49.94] Swimming them so well
[02:53.68] Glad to see my face among them
[02:59.14] Kissing the tortoise shell
[03:02.21] Seven seas
[03:04.07] Swimming them so well
[03:07.42] Glad to see my face among them
[03:12.82] Kissing the tortoise shell
[03:15.20]
