Shikaiya (For Billy) lyrics

Five years old
And life had made me shy
I'm telling you
Shikaiya made me feel like I could fly
And there she was
So crazy but she was on fire
A smile behind the door of every answer
to my questions
You made it seem like everything was possible

That's where you stood out from everybody else
Shikaiya , yeah
That's what you're about and
you should never lose yourself
Shikaiya , yeah

Down the phone
Years and miles apart
We try to find the magic we used to bounce
>From heart to heart
But you don't seem to believe in anything today
I wonder if your dreams got smashed
upon the rocks of Bateau Bay
You made me feel like every wave is beautiful

That's where you stood out from everybody else,
Shikaiya, yeah
That's what you're about and
you should never lose yourself,
shikaiya, yeah(shikaiya yeah)

my friend, shakaiya yeah
(I just wanna know what you where thinking about, thinkin about, my friend)
(I just wanna know what you where thinking about, thinkin about, my friend)
(I just wanna know what you where thinking about, thinking about, my
friend,)

Shikaiya, yeah(Shikaiya, yeah)

That's what you're about, and you should never lose yourself, Shakaiya
yeah(Shakaiya yeah)
