I planned a dream inside a dream with your uncle
A fisherman who died
The oracle of the maritimes
Too cloudy to see fireworks
We would ride a chest of drawers into the waves
His granted hand held mine

I asked him how to tell you
how much I could love you
'Cause I've never been so sure of anything

Sometimes I feel so beautiful, it's strange for a tomboy
Bruises upper legs, big and holds my face
Sometimes I feel so ugly, I'm afraid
Worry nesting in my hair
Shedding like a Christmas tree
Surely there's a real woman coming to erase me

There's no way I could tell you
How much I could love you
'Cause I've never been so scared of anything

And I'm not even wearing underwear
No way exotic, I just forgot to
And I'm too much for people, so again
Shed my thoughts here from a distance

That's no way to tell you
How much I could love you
No, I've never been so sure of anything

The echo of my hand pass me o'er
The oracle of the maritimes
He said "come on, sweet girl, let's find you an ocean
That goes with your eyes"
He said "come on, sweet girl, let's find you an ocean
That goes with your eyes"
