lyrics

Well I was shaking and sweating like I normally do
I walked the long way there just to calm my nerves
My heart in the back my throat
Played the beat of that song that I was whistling
And you were shaking and sweating
Like I normally do
You locked you keys in the car, my heart in the boot
I was waiting and pacing up and down on the streets
With my hands in my pockets
Oh God, we were trapped in gold and steel
In the darkness of the evening
And the sky was freezing over
To the darkest shade of black
It bled out against the stars
That blazed bright for our attention
We just stood there and we listened
To the wide Pacific Ocean

And we were young and innocent
Like a couple of kids
In the backseat our tempos would always skip
In the humidity our chemistry started reacting
And I believed her every time that she
Told me she loved me
But these days I'm finding it harder to believe
Sometimes I wonder why
She never came home for me
Oh god, I am trapped in gold and steel
And I don't know what I'm feeling
But the sky's still freezing over
And it's turning into black
But I know that I'll get through this
And some day I will return
To stand proudly and just stare out To the wide Pacific Ocean
