"Down By The Bay" lyrics

Down by the bay where the ocean plays
The pretty melodies that makes me want to stay
My heart is stuck here between these waves
This is where I came from and this is where I'm safe

A tainted love from memories
And made of dirt a remedy
I hate it 'cause I'm loving it too much
I want to leave and, God, I will
Break up, get my money
But something here is pulling at my sleeve

A beauty I just can't deny
Wanna stay right by your side
But if I do I know my life will suck
People I don't really like
Makes me feel like a sunrise
I don't know why it makes my mind smile

Down by the bay where the ocean plays
The pretty melodies that makes me want to stay
My heart is stuck here between these waves
This is where I came from and this is where I'm safe

Drinking by the bay, I'll end up crying
Nothing is enough and I keep lying
To myself that I don't feel like dying, hey
I hate this town, I have to run away
I love this town, I need to run away

Down by the bay where the ocean plays
The pretty melodies that makes me want to stay
My heart is stuck here between these waves
This is where I came from and this is where I'm safe

I fight between success and lies
Telling them that I don't mind
But somewhere in my heart the word still stings
Like a junkie on a rush
Happy moments, fucking lush
I need to stop ignoring my damn guts

A lovely sight I wanna touch
Reaching out just to be judged
I know you feel that I'm a bit too much
I want to show my scars out loud
Wanna say, "My soul has drowned"
But we all know, that shit ain't allowed

Down by the bay where the ocean plays
The pretty melodies that makes me want to stay
My heart is stuck here between these waves
This is where I came from and this is where I'm safe
Down by the bay where the ocean plays
The pretty melodies that makes me want to stay
My heart is stuck here between these waves
This is where I came from and this is where I'm safe

This is where I'm safe
This is where I'm safe
This is where I'm safe
This is where I'm safe
