"Closedloop" lyrics

I went to a place
To repair and rest myself
But I never managed
The loop of the waves
Crashing on my shore got stuck in my head
And never got out

Oh, it'd be better if the world would all slow down
It'd be better if I knew what I know now
It'd be better if the world would all slow down
It'd be better if the world would all slow down
It'd be better if I was swimming in the shallows
'Cause then I wouldn't be just spending my whole life
Catching up to you

But I held a seashell
Close to my ear
I listened
To the sound of the sea
It made me swear
An oath of secrecy
I couldn't tell a soul what it told me

Oh, it'd be better if the world would all slow down
It'd be better if I knew what I know now
It'd be better if the world would all slow down
It'd be better if the world would all slow down
It'd be better if I was swimming in the shallows
It'd be better if the world would all slow down
It'd be better if I was swimming in the shallows
It'd be better if I was swimming in the shallows
The shallows
The shallows

It made me swear
An oath of secrecy
I couldn't tell a soul what it told me, no
I can't tell you what it told me, no
I can't tell you what it told me, no
I can't tell you what it told me, no
I can't tell you what it told me, no
I can't tell you what it told me, no
I can't tell you what it told me
I can't tell you what it told me
I can't tell you what it told me
I can't tell you what it told me
I can't tell you what it told me, no
