lyrics

We were making out listening to sad songs, kissing the worries away
The weight of the air on our shoulders did change, but still- the sad songs they played

We talked about our scars and how we got them, the ones that hurt the most but aren’t seen
In place of those wounds we had/got ‘hope’ tattoo’d
at Coney Island on the Cyclone by the sea

And when the roughest waves come crashing down, down, down
Together we’ll find beauty in their sound
With your hand in mine you’ll never drown, drown, drown
Through the roughest waves I’ll stick around

The nightmares inside my brain- I can’t stop them
when I’m alone wrapped up in these sheets
But with your hair in my face taking up the empty space in my arms now honey that’s the dream

Captive I keep back my true feelings, when vulnerable I cover up my sleeve
But I surrendered my guns, hands up in the front
At Coney Island on the Cyclone by the sea

And when the roughest waves come crashing down, down, down
Together we’ll find beauty in their sound
With your hand in mine you’ll never drown, drown, drown
Through the roughest waves I’ll stick around

I thought happily ever after was only fiction, convinced that ‘true love’ was make-believe
But forever I was changed when our picture was framed
At Coney Island on the Cyclone by the sea
