Behind Lyrics - Ocean Blue

Sorting through this mess 

I happen on your smile 

Gleaming through a photograph 

Buried for some while 

I'm taken by the way 

The swagger captured there 

Has vanished in the haze of time 

And by a foolish whim I'm stricken with desire 

To phone you up and tell you of my find 

But as I stretch my hand 

I'm reminded of the shape I'm in 

From all the things you've left 

Behind 

Man, I hate your friends 

They really bring me down 

And I can tell you're not yourself 

Whenever they're around 

So ditch this motley crew 

For all the world of me 

And leave these sorry few 

Behind 

I hope that by some master plan 

You're in the same boat that I am 

Waiting at a crossing path 

To seal away your life 

To lock inside a sacred bond so tight 

And like this photograph 

The scattered thoughts of you 

Are frozen in the amber of my mind 

And boxes on the shelf of documents 

Reminding me you 

Left an empty shell 

Behind
