lyrics
we have nowhere to be, have nowhere to go
but to close the distance between ourselves
i have something for you, have something for me
but i cannot use yours, for i sold everything
without those boys, there was nothing i could do
nothing i could do, back then
but see i'm still around, and now i understand:
change isn't all bad. change isn't all bad.
when the tide went out, it seemed to me that this could be the end
but it wasn't yet, but it wasn't
when they came back, it turned out that i wasn't as dependent
on them, as i had thought
with constant change, i still will be myself, while bettering myself
sometimes alone, still bettering myself, or battering myself
we have somewhere to be, have somewhere to go
but we aren't sure yet where that place is
i took something from you, took something from me
mutual exchange, i will always keep it with me
last summer may have been my November
but things can still get better again
i used to be afraid to die; at least i'm not as afraid to live
we have somewhere to go, have somewhere to be
we're both better off than how we were before
i gave something to you, gave something to me
mutual gift-giving, you're forever a part of me
i didn't realize until, this was all over
that this was the last time things were the same
'cause now the tide's out, and you have set out to sea
and we're both captains now; take charge of your everything!
(and don't worry about me)
but to close the distance between ourselves
i have something for you, have something for me
but i cannot use yours, for i sold everything
without those boys, there was nothing i could do
nothing i could do, back then
but see i'm still around, and now i understand:
change isn't all bad. change isn't all bad.
when the tide went out, it seemed to me that this could be the end
but it wasn't yet, but it wasn't
when they came back, it turned out that i wasn't as dependent

sometimes alone, still bettering myself, or battering myself
we have somewhere to be, have somewhere to go
but we aren't sure yet where that place is
i took something from you, took something from me
