Lyrics to Vanity

[Verse 1]

I went to the west coast

And sat on the shore

The waves have stolen my heart

And now I don't wanna go home

And maybe I'm chasing folly



[Verse 2]

I met a girl there

She asked me to stay

The ocean's music stirs my soul

I drifted away

Maybe I'm chasing folly



[Chorus]

I want somewhere to lay my head down

I hide but I can't escape the siren's call

In time all we do fades into the ocean

If all we chase is vanity

Don't you wake me down



[Verse 3]

The words are forgotten

But the music remains

And you echo, you're whole in your sleep

But you're chasing, you're awake

Maybe we're chasing folly



[Verse 4]

It seems so familiar

Like a heart in my hands

But suddenly I'm back in the waves

With the girl I left in the sand

And I was chasing folly



[Chorus]

I want somewhere to lay my head down

I hide but I can't escape the siren's call

In time all we do fades into the ocean

If all we chase is vanity

Won't you wake me down



I, I want somewhere to lay my head down

I hide but I can't escape the siren's call

In time all we do fades into the ocean

If all we chase is vanity

Won't you wake me down



[Verse 5]

I settled down there

Near the music of the waves

But the mountains called their song

And she drifted away

All we chase is vanity
