if i ever was, then now i'm less than sure
what i was waiting for
if i could find the strenght to walk

me i'm drinking the sea
she will send me to sleep
surely there must be an easy way
and i'll say it again will the nevers end
do i have to forgive to forget
i wrote a letter only yesterday
i can not recall what i wanted to say
i saw a chance, i let it pass me by
this is the shallow age, my friend
i say never again will the nevers end
this is not what i had meant to say
so i'm drinking the sea, trying to pick up the pieces
and say it never again
if i ever was then now i'm less than sure
and this is the shallow age, my friend
