Sea Legs Lyrics

[Hook: James Mercer]

Cause when the dead moon
Rises again
We've no time to start a protocol
To hem us in
And when the dog slides
Underneath a train
There's no cry, no use to searching for
The mutt's remains

Throw all consequence aside
The chill aspire, people set alight

[Post Hook: Cee]

It's a blessing coz in her presence, she make me better
Her glowing soul brightens every room, she effervescent
And when the dead moon rises once again
Her gravity, it stays hemming me in, yeah, yeah


[Verse: James Mercer]

Of all the intersecting lines in the sand
I routed a labyrinth to your lap
I never used a map sliding off the land
On an incidental tide
And along the way you know, they try
They try
And we got sea legs
And we're off tonight
Can I've that to which they've no right?
You belong to a simpler time
I'm a victim to the impact of these words
And this rhyme

[Hook: James Mercer]

Cause when that dead moon
Rises again
We've no time to start a protocol
To hem us in
And when the dog slides
Open the door, and where'd she go?
There's no time, no use to searching for
The mutts remains

Throw consequence aside
And the chill aspire, people set alight

[Verse 2: Cee]

Set it alight, my soul burns for this woman who's the world to me,
Her fourth finger ain't laced yet but it's sure to be
When I saw her, wasn't looking for a partner y'all
Was tryina get involved but this was more than what I bargained for

The woman in her is the worry in me
Her beauty so unparalleled, just quit the hollering, please
,
And although we of a different shade, it matters not to us
And we were told that love is colour blind, in that we trust
,
She my lover and my best friend, she hold my attention,
My muse whenever music at a dead end,
She give me so much happy, my face is hurting
From the smiling and it's like every minute waiting, it's worth it

And I'm genuinely sad when she not around
I personally prefer it when her purpose is putting it down

And on the real, her mind is as fine as her physical
Her body is a miracle, her booty is the pinnacle

And I could write a whole damn song about it
But I'mma keep that just for us, dog she mine, I'm proud
,
To have a strong, independent, motivated woman walking with the kid
And when I look into her eyes, I see the mother of my kids

And so, feeling like I'm the luckiest dude breathing
Coz I found my queen when I wasn't even looking to see her
,
And as time goes on, my love keeps on growing,
My heart still beats faster when I fall into her arms, she give me sea legs
Uh uh uh uh, she give me sea legs, yeah yeah yeah yeah, she give me sea legs

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

I’ve become a fairly new fan of The Shins, and as soon as I heard this, it sounded like it could sound pretty cool with some raps. I dedicated this one to my partner in winning, @Starlexis.
