[rev. 9/25/05]
At the sea, in the sand
You were free to my hand
As we touched behind the wind
Left so much outside our skin
You never stay in all four dimensions
You never ever return when you're gone
One more summer in surf city
Solarized recollection
Well the sun and its rays
Are as one throughout space
And my mind's always on you
First a light, I'll break through
You never stay in all four dimensions
You never ever return when you're gone
One long summer in surf city
Solarized recollection
What a night to start writing about this
Tall palms grasp the summer clouds
And anchor the starless sky to the ground
Outside the ghosts with Jaguars and Impalas
Roll along the still warm roads
Leaving damp marks where they had passed
The air hisses as they go
It stands aside with a decided sigh
It reaches for their banks fleetingly
This night aches with memory
Additional lyrics are spoken on the downloadable file versions (AAC and WMA) available on the Forget Yourself DualDisc from Silverline:
And they say I choose a dream
And this cold, unprotected outerworld does not appeal to me
Bright lights and foggy halos offend her unreal nature
She shrinks back into your subconscious with a shudder
She leaves the faintest trace
Dissolves like sugar on your mind's tongue
