The Futureheads › Lyrics › Back to the Sea

Did you stop to think, when we moved by the sea?
When the seasons changed, when the seasons changed
They changed for a reason

I'm not talking lightly, I don't need to set the scene
We're living in it, we're living in it
It's in everything we see

I won't go back to the sea
Whatever is pulling you isn't pulling me
I won't go back to the sea

Did you really think, that this is what we need?
Well I'm dragging my feet, avoiding sleep
Trying to make you see

It's reached the situation where it's the job or me
It's the job or me
If you're asking me, then the job is part of me

I won't go back to the sea
Whatever is pulling you isn't pulling me
I won't go back to the sea

It's not what you put in but what you take away
The least you're counting on
Now that you're counting down the days

You've taken opportunities, received nothing in return
This place that you call paradise
Will teach you a lesson you deserve

I won't go back to the sea
Whatever is pulling you isn't pulling me
I won't go back to the sea

I won't go back to the sea
Whatever is pulling you isn't pulling me
I won't go back to the sea
