lyrics

I kind of like it here
The silence is so comforting
I get nervous when you're near
That's why I've driven myself out
I'll take what I can find,
Build shelter out of sticks and stones
Nothing happens here, but I don't mind
I guess that's sort of the point

I think I like this place
No one will ever find me here
Out here my heart can't break
You can't reach when it's this far away
I've set my boat on fire
So I'm absolutely certain there's no way back
The sea is stretched out for miles
And I'm safe here in my hiding place
