When the tide goes out
Gotta wonder if it ever wanted to leave
And not come back
Like a frisbee on the roof
Under the sun’s living proof
Thinks, “Heaven ain’t so bad”
Does the wine remember when it was the water?
Does the wine remember when it was the water?
When you stop to get clean, that’s when
Things start to go missing
Goin’ out of business
Open but the shelves picked clean
All ghost and no machine
Like a crow doesn’t know
That it has wings, it just goes
The hills just shrink and grow
In a transforming world
Does the wine remember when it was the water?
Does the wine remember when it was the water?
When you stop to get clean, that’s when
Things start to go missing
