The Lines You Amend - Sloan

Said you’d found a way to end it peacefully

I remember finding shoes near the lake under a tree

And I’m sittin' on the shore

I thought I saw your charm float by

It doesn’t matter now

Cause all you wanted to do was die, yeah

If only you’d stuck around

I never would have made a sound

But now you’re on the ocean floor

And I’ve opened a brand new door

Brand new door

Swimming out to sea

Trying to find something else

While I’m skipping stones

And I’m listening to the shells

And I won’t forget you

If someone else comes along

I found the words you wrote

But I would not dare to quote

My friends, the lines you amend

Like «What's so bad about dying anyway»

Swimming out to sea

Trying to find something else

While I’m skipping stones

And I’m listening to the shells

And I won’t forget you

If someone else comes along

You’ll always come to mind

Whenever I hear that song, yeah

The one about photographs

Sung by Ringo Starr

Especially in the chorus part

You always said, «Now don’t you start»

Don’t you start, yeah yeah

Don’t you start

Don’t you start
