	Story Behind the Song I wrote the first verse and sat on it for 6 months before the rest of the song came. For one whole summer I had a best friend that I loved more than life, but then fall came around and he was too important for me. I still don't think I've ever really forgiven him, I guess I should, huh? Lyrics The more salt the wound gets the harder to ignore it is subtle grief surfaces sometimes Opening the tidal gates pain washed up the shore again breaking all your sympathies apart I loved you in the shadows in the mists of California When I was just a girl and you were taller than you seemed Only silver linings shone you were so attainable But now your handsome face blocks out the clouds I used to dream I wait around for you to remember for your clever hands to pull me from the mess I've made When will you realize that this is all your fault? and take all this responsibility from me Breaking waves and sinking sands tender hearts and aching hands Walking on the water so I know this isn't real Blanket stars and untoughed dunes and holy staring silent moons never really knowing how the night's supposed to feel I left you in the shadows in the mists of California no longer just a girl and you're a coward I believe Where did the silver linings go? somewhere far where I don't go... And now your face is buried, oh, beneath some salty sea Still I wait, around for you to remember for your clever hands to pull me from the mess I've made When will you realize that this is all your fault? and take all this responsibility from me
