[Verse]
It's quiet in the sea, always flotsam drifting down but I'm not looking
Let it fall past me, bits of words and strains of music, I can't listen
Chart your course and plot your days, and I can hide beneath the waves
Find a message in a bottle, wonder if it's meant for me

[Chorus]
And I... hope you don't mind
No, I... hope you don't mind

[Verse]
It's quiet in the sky, always movement far below but I'm not looking
Let it pass me by, lines on maps and traffic patterns I can't follow
Sirens don't go chasing prey, they just hope that you'll sail in one day
I'll show you round my little kingdom, offer you a cup of tea

[Chorus]
And I... hope you don't mind
No, I... hope you don't mind

[Verse]
I could trace your pathway in the tides, I could read your story in the stars
I could catch your singing on the winds, all they ever tell me is that you're not here...
When I fall to land there are gifts and souvenirs, but I'm not buyin'
They don't understand how the sea and sky can hurt you without tryin'...
[Pre-Chorus]
Someone has to keep the lighthouse, and someone has to be the stone
I don't need to keep you here, but I don't want to know you're gone

[Chorus]
So I... hope you don't mind...
I... hope you don't mind...

[Outro (vocalizations)]
Ah-ah-ah ah-ah...
Ah... a-ah... oh, oh... oh...
Oh-ooh, oh oh, oooh...
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh...
