[verse i]
it was summer, it was cool
you planted sharks in swimming pools
and as you went to set the bait
the only thing i thought to say
was “better safe than sorry”
but you’d be sorry to be safe
[verse ii]
you said, “honey, don’t you worry
the risk is half the game”
but who will tell your story
when wormwood comes to play?
[chorus i]
the stars fell down
how bright did they burn
hitting your hometown?
and when will you learn
that sharks can circle
and circle and circle around?
[verse iii]
it was sunset, it was warm
the lights grew dim, the mayflies swarmed
and in the night, your mortal form
still bled, unlucky, human norm
safe under the darkness
you talk me up a storm
[Verse IV]
they say silence is golden
but they’ve never met you before
all your robin-nested secrets
cracked there on the marble floors
[chorus ii]
the stars fell down
how bright did they burn
hitting your hometown?
and when will you learn
that sharks can circle
and circle and circle around?
[chorus iii]
sharks will circle
and when you’re not watching, you’ll drown
[verse v]
it was summer, it was cool
you planted sharks in swimming pools
while staring down a certain end
did you think you could outrun them?

[verse i]
dream of a world where you always
know just what to say
let go of yourself and be someone
who’s always asked to stay
[chorus i]
nylon balloon says goodbye
thins itself out to fly
and beams radiant-soft towards the Sun
[chorus ii]
because you’ll clip your wings
if you can’t cut your strings
so you spot the horizon and run, run
[bridge i]
everybody’s watching you
but you look to the sky
while everybody prays to god
you try to meet his eye
[chorus iii]
nylon balloon in the sky
cannot help but to fly
and the landing below’s but a gleam
[chorus iv]
the horizon goes on
all that’s left is to run
there is nowhere in sight like a dream

[verse i]
was it chance or was it fate?
it’s easier to say
the timing was off that day
[verse ii]
knew that you had hell to pay
but then you’d go out in a blaze
no, the timing was off that day
[chorus i]
is it such a crime
for a man to want to find
something bigger to believe in?
[chorus ii]
had to have survived
‘cause if your life’s a lie
what do you believe in?
[bridge i]
took a drive down the highway
and i tried to catch your eye
but i didn’t see you anywhere
all i found were billboard signs
[bridge ii]
are you waiting in some silk or satin
World hidden from view?
‘cause the gospel I believed in
rested on your shoulders too
[bridge iii]
it’s easier to say
but that doesn’t make it true
[verse iii]
was it pride or naivete?
it’s your sin all the same
not to be irreverent
but the timing’s irrelevant
[verse iv]
so i guess i’ll never see you
in any world to be
there’s nowhere else for you
‘cause there’s no place like a dream
