On the esplanade
Down by the sea
Baby, watch my back
Think somebody's following me

I feel [bad word] With trying to play it dead
Feel safe that way
Is it better than displaying instead?

It was a big slip for me
To roll up my golden life
She should have saved, saved my energy

I'm awake today
So nice to see the window
Wash my dreams away
I prop myself up on my pillow

Been through shaky times
But I'm glad you found your way
There was too much panic then
From here on it'll be straight all the way

It was a big slip for me
To roll up my golden life
She should have saved, saved my energy
