Before You Sailed Around the World

Every second guess
 Is every guess I gave you
 The ring that dragged you down
 I threw it to save you
 Spitting on the shore
 Of some exotic sandbar
 Your skin is peeling now
 You're glowing like a dead star
 You're wishing you were home
 You haven't been in years there
 They dragged you to that dock
 Got you drunk on salt air
 In between the swells
 You almost see the coastline
 What happened to your life?
 You had one when you were mine
 You took off with that crowd
 Pirates and pearl divers
 What happened to your life?
 Remember, I was here first
 I knew you before you sailed around the world
 I knew you before you sailed around the world
 All that water straightened out your curls
 I knew you before you sailed around the world
