sea sick

this is my message in a bottle
& i am hoping i'll no longer be tossed around

someday where the sky is blue
& the people feel warm & yellow

somewhere where the songs never end
& the lights dim only when we're tired

sometime when the parties are still fun
& our hands still shake without all the caffeine

this is my message in a bottle
& i am hoping to wash onto your shores

someday where the windows always stay open
& all your favorite books are on the shelf

somewhere where i can write my return address
& the tea kettle is already hot

sometime when i can be bolted down
& the album never needs to be flipped

this is my message in a bottle
& i am hoping you'll find me soon
