lyrics

I'm on a ship that's set to sail
On the open seas and I don't know where
I'm sailing to
Like a lighthouse on the break
Our love will glimmer and the fade as I drift
Away from you

How can we end if our love never began
I will take back
All these things I've said
These things that I have done

It would take a giant ocean
Just to catch the amount of tears that I've cried
Over you
In a boat up on the waves
In the thunder and the rain
I will stand
And weather though

How can we end if our love never began
I will take back
All these things I've said
These things that I have done

My body floats out on the sea like driftwood
Relying on the tides to take me home
My fingertips they sense the end of ocean
My body washes gently to the shore

Now out of all the things I could have done
I've gone and drown in our love
Now there's no coming back
Home to you
For years you'll roam this earth
Until your flesh returns to dirt
Then our love
Will be renewed

How can we end if our love never began
I will take back
All these things I've said
These things that I have done
