Heather Nova - Shell Lyrics

Look at me, smooth like a shell
Put your head down, hear the ocean
Hold my body and feel it roll
So much inside and it's all been broken

You know it's just one step out it could all be over
You know this could rip us out at the seams

I'm falling, it's all in your hands
(Don't let it wash away)
I'm aching, don't take it all away
(Breaking the shell again)

Look at me I'm out on the edge
Put your hand here see I'm bleeding
I can't get it, get the light out
I can't seem to tear out the feeling

You know it's just one step out it could all be over
You know this could rip us out at the seams

I'm falling, it's all in your hands
(Don't let it wash away)
I'm aching, don't take it all away
(Breaking the shell again)

[Incomprehensible]

I am a box, I am a fish, I am a trail, I keep you warm
And I remember stripping down to meet the water
Wading out to where the sky turns under
My insides smooth like a shell, like a shell

You know this could rip us out at the seams

I'm falling, it's all in your hands
(Don't let it wash away)
I'm aching, don't take it all away
(Breaking the shell again)

I'm falling, it's all in your hands
(Don't let it wash away)
I'm aching, don't take it all away
(Breaking the shell again)

Look at me, smooth like a shell
Put your head here, hear the ocean roar
