Tried to swim out, the waves crashing over me
The sky so full of clouds, I couldn't scream out loud
Struggled in, to the laughter of my friends
Caught my breath, and missed another death

A secret spot, where I was caught, telling lies, and saying my goodbyes

Growing up on the edge of the water
When you're too cold to feel, the pain it isn't real
Stayed out too long, pretending I was strong
And now I'll never leave, but I just want to breathe

A secret spot, where I was caught, telling lies, and saying my goodbyes

I was yearning for the sands of Redondo
While out there on the rocky shore
Sunny days and the promise of tomorrow
Can't recognize them anymore

Hold me down, over my head
Out on the other side, I guess I could have died
Felt the spray, from the flip side of the wave
I'm out here all alone, trying to make it on my own

A secret spot, where I was caught, telling lies, and saying my goodbyes
I was yearning for the sands of Redondo
While out there on the rocky shore
Sunny days and the promise of tomorrow
Can't recognize them anymore
