Back to the Sea - The Futureheads

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's 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's 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's pulling you isn't pulling me

I won't go back to the sea

I won't go back to the sea

Whatever's pulling you isn't pulling me

I won't go back to the sea
