Austin Lucas - Shallow Inland Sea Lyrics

I must have been asleep
Somewhere in the shallow
Inland sea
Amongst the rustling leaves
Of tulip poplar trees
You came to be next to me
Carried in by the warm
Summer breeze
Together like I'd always hoped to be
Somewhere in the shallow
Inland sea
Oh what a dream
I had when I was young
What a dream it was
To proudly die for love
Where do they go
The dreams of the young
Salt and the smell of sweat
Both lingered on our flesh
Was the closest thing
To clothing that we owned
And you smiled a perfect crescent
As I slipped inside
Your birthday wedding gown
You opened like a book
I committed every word to memory
Then I set fire to all the pages
Threw the ashes in the shallow inland sea
Oh what a dream
I had when I was young
What a dream it was
To proudly die for love
Where do they go
Oh what a dream
I had when I was young
What a dream it was
To proudly die for love
Where do they go
The dreams of the young
I must have been asleep
Somewhere in the shallow
Inland sea
