[Verse] From the first kiss to the last breath it's not too long if it's not this emptiness you can see on the faces of strangers lovers or haters and people on TV I think you know what I mean all the space in between what we want and what we need from our birth to our demiseee there's a world of differenceee in a pair of eyesss [Chorus] I want a house by the sea With windows that leak And a back door that leads to the beach And I'd live there with you Cause it's the only thing I know how to do [Verse] From the moment I awake to the minute I fall asleep From the last word to the very last letter The world is spinning The sky is falling The end is beginning Do you hear me calling? The less I know The more I think The less I feel The more I drink You can't know if you don't try So I never try And I never die [Chorus] I want a house by the sea With windows that leak And a back door that leads to the beach And I'd live there with you 'Cause it's the only thing I know how to do [Verse] I've heard there's a world outside Between every heaven and every hell And I've been there many times Between all the moments that I tried to tell you All the space in between What we want and what we need All the years and all the miles From our birth to our demise There's a world of difference in a pair of eyes [Chorus] I want a house by the sea With windows that leak And a back door that leads to the beach And I'd live there with you 'Cause it's the only thing I know how to do
