Don’t stir me from rest leave me to lay across the gap between silence and screaming let the slow drip of the tap (drip drip drop) press deep into my subconscious under your spell to the world’s end. [pre chorus] I coulda been I shoulda been but I never was I coulda been I woulda been but I didn’t amount to much and I never will because I can’t make heads or tails of distress signals from a ship sunk long before the flood sinking down sinking down bound to the anchor’s tragic speed deeper below deeper below the warmth of the light recedes. We coulda been We shoulda been but we never were We coulda been We woulda been but we didn’t amount to much and we never will because I can’t make heads or tails of distress signals from a plane that went down in heavy fog what does this wounded heart yearn for when it probes the depths of a long lost love? i can hold my breath outlast the crushing weight of the years alone at sea. I coulda been I shoulda been We coulda been We woulda been but we settled for never was. ---------------------------------- Words by Br33zy
