The Ballad Of Salt And Sand Songtext

I was standing alone in the surf with stones inside my pockets to see if it would work, but I didn't think that the ocean was deep enough as the waves were dripping off my chin. If the ocean doesn't want my body, then why would I leave it on the ground?

I was standing in the desert, alone, for days. I poured water on the ground just to watch it evaporate, but I didn't think that the desert was wide enough as the sun was branding my skin. If the desert doesn't want my body, then why would I leave it ground?
