Devon Halliday - Spend the Night

Those were seashell days
Standing on the cliffs as they washed away
Everybody told me it would end this way
Waiting for the lighthouse to turn my way, turn my way
And we were salted skin
Meeting at the borders of the mess I'm in
All the catchy melodies we lived within
I just told myself to take it in, take it in
And I'm looking for a place to spend the night
Keeping all the rattlesnakes inside, inside

But I'm not a wave
If I keep crashing this often I'll burn
The song's on repeat, but I still can't learn
And you knew every single second of that melody
You know I, I'm like sand the way I stick to you
And you're like candy cuz you stain me blue
And I've heard every single echo of that seashell singing

And I pretended I learned a kind of lesson when you said goodbye
But all I really learned is things, they die
I just gotta make them last for one more night, one more night
And I wondered if you'd let me spend the night
Sweeping all the warning signs aside, aside

But I'm not a wave
If I keep crashing this often I'll burn
The song's on repeat, but I still can't learn
And you knew every single second of that melody
You know I, I'm like sand the way I stick to you
And you're like candy cuz you stain me blue
And I've heard every single echo of that seashell singing

And I don't know why I even try
I'm still looking for a ride

But I'm not a wave
Or I'd keep crashing on back to you
The story's the same, but the songs are new
And you know every single second of the melody
And I'm like sand if you're a desert storm
I can't stand the way you keep me warm
Cuz when you whisper you're exactly like that seashell singing
