VERSE
Ease Your Feet In The Sea
Belle & Sebastian
Ease you're feet off in the sea
My darling it's the place to be
Take your shoes off curl your toes
And I will frame this moment in time
Troubles come and troubles go
The trouble that we've come to know
Will stay with us till we get old
Will stay with us till somebody decides to go
Decides to go
Soberly, without regret, 1 make another sandwich
And I fill my face, 1 know that things have got to you
But what can 1 do?
Suddenly, without a warning
On a pale blue morning
You decide your time is wearing thin
A conscious choice to let yourself go dangling
Hovering
It's an emergency
There's no more wait and see
Maybe if I shut my eves
Your trouble will be split between us
People come and people go
You're scouring everybodies face
For some small flicker of the truth
To what it is that you are going through, my boy
I left you dry
The signs were clear that you were not going anywhere
Anywhere
Save for a falling down
Everything's going wrong
Later on, as I walked home
The plough was showing, and orion
1 could see the house where you lived
I could see the house where you gave
All your time and sanity to people
Then you waited for the people to acknowledge you
They spoke in turn
But their eyes would pass over you
Over you
Who's seeing you at all?
Who's seeing You at all?

About this Song
Ease Your Feet in the Sea by Belle & Sebastian is a reflective and introspective song that explores themes of nostalgia, estrangement, and the passage of time. The lyrics describe memories of a past relationship and the longing for simpler, more carefree times. The poignant moments in the song are underscored by the imagery of the sea, which symbolizes both a place of solace and the vast distance that now exists between the singer and the subject of the song. The mellowness and gentle instrumentation add to the wistful and melancholic tone of the track.
