Forget the second coming I need you in the here and now Instead of dreamin' up a way to Spread your name across the world somehow When you told me you were leavin' I wasn't thirsty for revenge No I wasn't disappointed much at all Cause you'll be back again If you're movin' out to the west Then you'd better learn how to surf The tide will break in on itself There are no ghosts to exhume or unearth If you're gonna do it then do it Otherwise you just might lose your nerve I swear that ocean it swallowed me fully And it might have to follow you home When you wake up in the morning And you hear that awful applause Put it in your fuckin' napkin And watch it dissolve You could seal it in an envelope Tuck it away in your safe But you can't take it to the bank And you can't take it back
