[Verse 1]
Let’s get rAeckless like the A/G#ocean ‘cause I’m cAareless like the A/G#sea. 
I watched you wDalk inside this crowded room, trying to drink the void in you. 
AWe’re all searching for something intangible, 
Dbreaking moons apart to let the ocean know.
[Chorus]
AYou taught me a lot about confidence, a common place, and settling. 
DI taught you all about love instead, petty theft, and remembering.

[Verse 2]
Sitting tAongue out and A/G#spinning, traded Atrue love for a A/G#ring. 
DWalk the shores of Mexico and finally calmed her seas.
[Chorus]
AYou taught me a lot about confidence, a common place, and settling. 
DI taught you all about love instead, petty theft, and remembering.
So cArack my heart, and let you finish those lines, 
‘cause the aDctors that we play are taking on our lives.
[Verse 3]
AOf all the things she swore she ever meant, 
Astill in my head it’s “the difference.” 
DI guess you were just smarter than the gate 
Dto drug use and awkward sex. 
AMy best friends will be the death of me, 
Abut I gotta say it’s the only way to be.

Let’s get reckless like the ocean ‘cause I’m careless like the sea.

I watched you walk inside this crowded room, trying to drink the void in you.

We’re all searching for something intangible,

breaking moons apart to let the ocean know.

[Chorus]

You taught me a lot about confidence, a common place, and settling.

I taught you all about love instead, petty theft, and remembering.

Sitting tongue out and spinning, traded true love for a ring.

Walk the shores of Mexico and finally calmed her seas.

[Chorus]

You taught me a lot about confidence, a common place, and settling.

I taught you all about love instead, petty theft, and remembering.

So crack my heart, and let you finish those lines,

‘cause the actors that we play are taking on our lives.

[Verse 3]

Of all the things she swore she ever meant,

still in my head it’s “the difference.”

I guess you were just smarter than the gate

to drug use and awkward sex.

My best friends will be the death of me,

but I gotta say it’s the only way to be.
