lyrics

Now that I'm dying
Can we go flying?
Down to the startings of the shore and the ocean
We'll play in its motion
And think of problems to ignore and we won't be down
In that seaside down
As I ride around drowning on dry land in our moped
A blur of red cross sunbaked roads paved over sand and the ocean
We'll play in its motion

Pretty soon I'll disappear
So I wanna spend my last days here with you

And since we're dreaming
And the sun's beaming
In that hopeful way it often does when we go down
Before I drown
All alone the two of us as we lay there
Why don't we stay there?
Even as my lungs begin to fill cause I don't care
Soon I won't be there
Don't say if, I know I will
In my ocean
I feel its motion

Pretty soon I'll disappear
So I wanna spend my last days here with you
If you want to

Plasma
