lyrics

All the people like to think so
They got a hell of a lot to prove
Yet their feet can hardly move
They'll confuse you and abuse you
Well I'll be leaving them behind right by the shore
In the meantime it might seem fine
While they're standing on that spirit til she's gone boy she's gone
Til you're tired uninspired
Better leave it all behind right by the shore

By the shore right by the shore
Better learn to start swimming let the devil keep on fishing
Well the water it's like a daughter
You gotta leave the rest behind right by the shore

In the morning there’s a warning
Better open up your ears boy you gotta shed your fears
In the nighttime that's the right time
Ripe for leaving it all behind right by the shore
Well it seems so I believe so
There's a whole lot more than this but you gotta turn your wrist
Leave it open here's to hoping
and to leaving it all behind right by the shore

By the shore right by the shore
There's so many ways to turn let the water heal your burn
It'll soothe you and will move you
Just to leave it all behind right by the shore

All the prophets filled their pockets
They were spilling out their heads til the people all got fed
They moved on up and gone
They had to leave it all behind right by the shore
Yeah the river it's a sliver
But it's deeper than you think boy you gotta take a drink
And to realize what it feels like
Just to leave it all behind right by the shore

By the shore right by the shore
You don't need a boat or fin you just gotta get right in
Well it's better when it's wetter
You gotta leave it all behind right by the shore
