Ocean City Defender returns with the new single Perfect Wish.
lyrics
OUT OF PHASE AND SLOW
I HAD A HEART LIKE A METRONOME
67 BPM
STEADY STRAIGHT UNTIL THE END
I NEED TIME TO GROW
FULL OF HOPE BUT SO ALONE
GIVE ME SHELTER GIVE ME LIFE
TEAR ME APART AND KILL THE LIGHTS
I DON'T WANT TO LIVE LIKE THIS FOREVER
I NEVER THOUGHT IT EVER COULD BE LIKE THIS
WE TOOK THE SECRETS TO OUR GRAVE
AND COLLAPSED IN IT
I FELT THE SILENCE FILL THE ROOM ON A PERFECT WISH
CAN I SAY
KEEP WASTING AWAY WITH ME
EVERY NIGHT'S LIKE THIS
FEEL THE LIGHT POUR THROUGH AND
BEAT BEAT BEAT BEAT BEAT AGAINST
THE CHEST AND BREAK APART AGAIN
BURIED DEEP INSIDE
FIND THE TRUTH LIGHT YEARS AWAY
I DON'T WANT TO LIVE LIKE THIS FOREVER
I NEVER THOUGHT IT EVER COULD BE LIKE THIS
WE TOOK THE SECRETS TO OUR GRAVE
AND COLLAPSED IN IT
I FELT THE SILENCE FILL THE ROOM ON A PERFECT WISH
CAN I SAY
KEEP WASTING AWAY WITH ME
I DON'T WANT TO LIVE LIKE THIS FOREVER
I HAD A HEART LIKE A METRONOME
67 BPM
STEADY STRAIGHT UNTIL THE END
I NEED TIME TO GROW
FULL OF HOPE BUT SO ALONE
GIVE ME SHELTER GIVE ME LIFE
TEAR ME APART AND KILL THE LIGHTS
I DON'T WANT TO LIVE LIKE THIS FOREVER
I NEVER THOUGHT IT EVER COULD BE LIKE THIS
WE TOOK THE SECRETS TO OUR GRAVE
AND COLLAPSED IN IT
I FELT THE SILENCE FILL THE ROOM ON A PERFECT WISH
CAN I SAY
KEEP WASTING AWAY WITH ME
EVERY NIGHT'S LIKE THIS
FEEL THE LIGHT POUR THROUGH AND
BEAT BEAT BEAT BEAT BEAT AGAINST
THE CHEST AND BREAK APART AGAIN
BURIED DEEP INSIDE
FIND THE TRUTH LIGHT YEARS AWAY
I DON'T WANT TO LIVE LIKE THIS FOREVER
I NEVER THOUGHT IT EVER COULD BE LIKE THIS
WE TOOK THE SECRETS TO OUR GRAVE
AND COLLAPSED IN IT
I FELT THE SILENCE FILL THE ROOM ON A PERFECT WISH
CAN I SAY
KEEP WASTING AWAY WITH ME
I DON'T WANT TO LIVE LIKE THIS FOREVER
