From here on the breakwater
We stare at the seals stretched like Labradors out in the sand
And I talk about times here learning to swim
While the waves crash around these old bricks where we stand
We could talk about love but we're scared to get hurt
I could use your perspective from down in the dirt
Well it's been fifteen years since you went in the ground
And I can't imagine much of you left layin' around
Except that beautiful marble of crystal blue glass
That you'd pull out for substitute teachers in class
And on wet nights like these still feeling you near
And the one thing that's left is a vision that's clear
Out of your glass eye
Your glass eye
Watch over me now
You were my best friend, my idol and my blueprint for cool
Taught me how to be callous and how to be cruel
Now some say you're nothing but memories and bones
I think we both know that you're never alone
Because here I am asking for guidance and light
That can only be granted by your line of sight
Out of your glass eye
Your glass eye
Watch over me now
All I ever wanted
Was for you to love me like I loved you
And all I ever wanted
Was girls to love me like they loved you
All I ever wanted was people to love me like they loved you
Like I know you can get them to love me too
Now I'm getting old
Still a failure in love
Not looking for answers to fall from above
I'd rather lie down with my ear to the earth
With your voice is a yardstick for just what I'm worth
'Cause I'll never see all the things that you see
But I trust you're still willing
To see them for me
Out of your glass eye
Your glass eye
Over me now
Well here on the breakwater
I look in her eyes
And I'm scared of what they may reveal
We may only have one shot of love in this life
So I better just say what I feel
Or else after I die
For thousands of years
All that I'll leave behind is one dusty tear
Out of your glass eye
Your glass eye
Over me now
