SEomething is Aabout to gEive, I can feAel it cEoming  
I think I knAow what it Eis.  
I'm not afrAaid to dEie, I'm not afrAaid to lEive  
And whAen I'm flEat on my back, I hope to feAel like I dEid.  
And hAardness, it sets in, you need some protC#mection  
The thinner the skAin.  
  EI want you to knAow, that yC#mou don't need me anymAore  
  EI want you to knAow, you don't need anyC#mone, or anything at Aall. 
[Chorus]  
EWho's to say where the wind will take you  
BWho's to say what it is will break you  
AWell, I don't know, which way the wind will blow.  
EWho's to know when the time is come around  
BDon't want to see your crAy, I know that this is not goodbye.  
[Break]

In the sEummer I can taste the salt of the sAea
