Every second guess
Is every guess I gave you
The ring that dragged you down
I threw it to save you
Spitting on the shore
Of some exotic sandbar
Your skin is peeling now
You're glowing like a dead star
You're wishing you were home
You haven't been in years there
They dragged you to that dock
Got you drunk on salt air
In between the swells
You almost see the coastline
What happened to your life?
You had one when you were mine
You took off with that crowd
Pirates and pearl divers
What happened to your life?
Remember, I was here first
I knew you before you sailed around the world
I knew you before you sailed around the world
All that water straightened out your curls
I knew you before you sailed around the world
