She is her own worst enemy;

her heart a landmine calamity

waiting for someone to set her off.

Morse code a clicking out an SOS—

Life raft releasing her last breath—

Tonight she's going to drown.

"[God], without me, will she reach the Great Beyond?"

"Believe Me, take My word, I'll never break your heart."

And away we go,

My little Jersey girl…

If we could escape this innocence—

trapped between the fears and the words we kept—

we'll live out our later years…

Here in our dreams, we'll reach a Great Beyond!

Believe me!

Take my word!

I'll never break your heart!

And away we go!

Sinking in this beautiful undertow, together with you…

We're giving up [to God]!

You can leave what little we believe.

Our flaw?

Discard!

Come give me what I need.

My thoughts won't go away.

You are my holiday!

Together we'll receive and reach that Great Beyond!

Believe me!

Take my word!

I'll never break your heart!

And away we go,

My little Jersey girl…
