you swore the earth was round
and you said that there was no upside down
i hit the starshift left, let the parallax slip
like you showed me in the lighthouse
and did the math and it came up ones and os

i know a girl who makes me shine
my dreamboat's leaving on a submarine
she packed a second set of tanks
and all i ever want i need
i know a girl who makes me whine,
while my dreamboat scatters on a submachine
she packed a second set of tanks
and all i ever want i need

and you swore the earth was sound,
and you said that we could go upside the ground
but the starfish sends in the message in a code
that you can't see from the lighthouse
and we will dive in the afternoon

i took in a simple time to wander
engaging twilight through the trees
if she needs help among the kelp ways
then i'm not tied to these
no, i'm not tied to these

i know a girl who makes me shine
my dreamboat's leaving on a submarine
she packed a second set of tanks
and a solar powered lung for me
and to the girl who makes me whine
while my dreamboat scatters on the submachine
she packed a second set of tanks
and all i ever want i need
for me, for me, for me

stay, stay, stay...
