Why’d you have to go and ruin my night?
Roll over me high as a kite
Next time keep it to yourself
Turn my paradise into hell
Just want to take a walk
Don’t feel the need to talk
Your key won’t crack this lock
Why’s that so complicated?
Well it’s been two full years
Since these eyes last shed tears
But you don’t seem to hear
Cuz it’s been understated
I’m floating in the sea
Deep water under me
Feel the space under my feet
Feel it grow as I believe
I am ruler, I am king
In command of everything
Can’t command the way you sting
If I had wanted you to alight
Would have relayed the message on my mind
And yet the bottle is lost at sea
Jet set collision right into me
Just sitting on the rocks
Don’t feel the need to talk
Your key won’t crack this lock
Why’s that so complicated?
Well it’s been two full years
Since these eyes last shed tears
But you don’t seem to hear
Cuz it’s been understated
I’m floating in the sea
Deep water under me
Feel the space under my feet
Feel it grow as I believe
I am ruler, I am king
In command of everything
Can’t command the way you sting
