Ocean Breathes Salty Songtext
von Modest Mouse

Your body may be gone I′m gonna carry you in
In my head in my heart in my soul
And maybe we'll get lucky and we′ll both live again
Well I don't know I don't know I don′t know don′t think so

Well that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
You get away from me
You get away from me

Collected my belongings and I left the jail
Well thanks for the time I needed to think a spell
I had to think awhile
I had to think awhile

The ocean breathes salty won′t you carry it in
In your head in your mouth in your soul
And maybe we'll get lucky and we′ll both grow old
Well I don't know I don′t know I don't know I hope so


Well that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
You get away from me
You get away from me

Collected my belongings and I left the jail
Well thanks for the time I needed to think a spell
I had to think awhile
I had to think awhile

Well that is that and this is this
Well you tell me what you saw and I′ll tell you what you missed
When the ocean met, the sky (you missed)
You missed when time and life shands and said goodbye (you missed)
When the earth folded in on itself (you missed)

And said good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell (you missed)
Are really there, but I wouldn′t hold my breath (you missed)
You wasted a life, why wouldn't you waste death (you missed)
You wasted a life, why wouldn′t you waste death

The ocean breathes salty won't you carry it in
In your head in your mouth in your soul
The more we move ahead the more we′re stuck in rewind
Well I don't mind, I don′t mind, how the hell could I mind


Well that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
You get away from me
You get away from me
Well that is that and this is this
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed
When the ocean met, the sky (you missed)
You wasted a life why wouldn′t you waste the afterlife
