THE PARAMEDIC LYRICS

1. Explorers

men stay the course
for your captain
men stay the course
for your captain

we've been chasing horizons
for uncharted lands
with compass in hand
keep a weather eye
on the stormy skies
we'll make it home tonight

we can't quench this fire
that burns inside if me
we can't quench this fire
we'll take it to the sea

this ship is mine
ill sail until the waves run dry
my heart will settle like the seas
this blue depth will soon find peace
(peace)

oh we're going down!

this ship is mine
ill sail until the waves run dry
(waves run dry)
my heart will settle just like the seas
this blue depth will soon find peace
(peace)

neptune has not taken favor
on our ship
batten down the hatch!
we've been overcome!
batten down the hatch!
we've been overcome....

this ship is mine
ill sail until the waves run dry
my heart will settle like the seas
this blue depth will soon find peace
(peace)

2. Trinkets

i wish i was
as naive in love
as you are
in love as you are
well i refuse
to be someone's settling

well i refuse
to be someone's settling
well i refuse
to be someone's settling

this has to be
more than a chain reaction of chemicals
i'm cursed by cupid
we're naive in love

well i refuse
to be someone's settling
well i refuse
to be someone's settling

i've watched your baggage
float upon the shore
and i've had it
make me never want to see the sea

i've watched your baggage
float apon the shore
and ive had it
make me never want to see the sea again
Again
(again)
Again
(again)
Again
(never)
Again
(never)
When this is over

well i refuse
to be someone's settling
well i refuse
to be someone's settling

3. Where's The Fire?

there is a red pigment in the sky
what burns on the horizon?
return to charred buildings;
off white pillars
now are cracked and black

haunting memories
of a wife saying to me
"I hope i die
before this beauty fades"
haunting memories
they have new meaning to me
"I hope i die before this beauty fades"

"No this cant be how rome ends!"
And when it does
it will capture all your flaws
in eternity

"Am i that delusional
that you can see it in my eyes?
are they burning red
like rome's burning skies?"

"No this cant be how rome ends!"
And when it does
it will capture all your flaws
in eternity

"I MUST BE A GOD....
I KILL...
I DESTROY...
I STEAL...
AND NOTHING HAPPENS TO ME...
NOTHING HAPPENS TO ME..."

NOTHING

"No this cant be how rome ends!"
(no it can't, no it can't)
And when it does
it will capture all your flaws
in eternity
eternity

4. A Thousand Ships

no one learns
from their mistakes
the pain gives
as much
as it takes

So next time you
say that love
doesnt mean a thing
ive seen it launch a thousand ships
and take its aim

This love has launched a
thousand ships to shores
to reclaim
an adultress

bloodstained
conviction

show me that
i hold more
in my chest
than a dark cavity
full of organs
and cancer

This love
has launched a thousand ships to shores
to reclaim
an adultress

bloodstained
conviction

Helen
(Helen)
No Helen
No Helen, now what have you done?
what have you done
(what have you done?)
Helen
(Helen)
No Helen
No Helen now what have you done?
what have you done?

This love
has launched a thousand ships

5. Where The River Meets The Sea

ocean swallow me
swallow me whole
river drink me in
indulge this paper
indulge this pen
the sirens are waiting for me
waiting for me

This is the sirens song
its pulling me
this is the sirens song
its pulling me
upon these rocks

seashells in her hair
salt is on her breath
(salt is on her breath)
poised upon these
jagged rocks
like a rose
atop the spiky stem
begging to be plucked
begging to be gripped
gripped

This is the sirens song
its pulling me
this is the sirens song
its pulling me
upon these rocks

If i don't
(if i don't)
kiss and tell
(tell)
It's as if I've never kissed at all
(at all, at all)

(you've got me right where you want me)

This is the sirens song
its pulling me
this is the sirens song
its pulling me
upon these rocks

6. Young Love In The Garden

hard to
place a finger on
and just when you do
the feeling is gone

(If you don't know)
(now you know)
(If you don't know)
(now you know)
I don't want this to stop
you've had my heart
from the beginning
don't let it go
do let it go

It's funny how
absence makes the heart grow
fonder
but consequently
it can make the heart go
wandering
(wandering)

(If you don't know)
(now you know)
(If you don't know)
(now you know)
I dont want this to stop
you've had my heart
from the beginning
dont let it go
do let it go

Baby just
give it time
it will be OK
Baby just
give it time
it will be OK
Give it time
Time

Give it time

(If you don't know)
(now you know)
(If you don't know)
(now you know)
Don't Let It Go
