Drink me like a Dixie cup and throw me out with all that you love.
(You think you are finally happy enough.)
I don't think you're ordinary, hopefully not temporary.
(Quicksand is the water I am treading.)

Look at my shakes, nothin' is fadin'.
And now a tidal wave of love has crashed on me.
It's not the same, somethin' is changin'.
And now a tidal wave of love has crashed on me, has crashed on me.

Swimming in a worn coat sleeve, I think I know you're just what I need.
(Now there's nothing left for you to believe.)
Pull back, and fade to black.
(Woke up spitting seaweed off of my face.)

Look at my shakes, nothin' is fadin'.
And now a tidal wave of love has crashed on me.
It's not the same, somethin' is changing.
And now a tidal wave of love has crashed on me, has crashed on me.

(Sha la la la la la. Yeah. Sha la la la la la.)

Here come the shakes, nothin' is fadin'.
And now a tidal wave of love has crashed on me.
It's not the same, somethin' is changin'.
And now a tidal wave of love has crashed on me...

Staring for days in the limbo, too late to travel.
That will squint your eyes, look at what you know. [x2]
