Like the largest ships at sea We twist and turn Buckling under treacherous weather Leaking And I'm not sure if this vessel can take much more But we'll stay afloat like we always have Somehow And we rushed down below the main deck Seeking some kind of safety It was pitch black But I found comfort in your breathing Wrapped in darkness till morning
And we hold each other tight You cry in my arms And I'll run my fingers through every strand of your hair I can't promise things will be alright But we'll be together We'll be together And we'll write down our feelings And fold up these parts of our lives into neat little squares Cherish the words written on each line of both papers Hold them close to revisit When things are better
I still have that recurring dream Where we drown in our sleep Always awoken to the feeling of your limbs wrapped around me Like ropes binding my hands and feet And I'd stay up all night My eyes trace your outline And waited for the waves to take my life I waited for the waves to take my life
Like a beautiful mirage you were gone like a ghost that haunts A ghost that lingers close by to watch everything unfold
Shipwrecked but not broken Not lost, but never to be found The light peaked through the clouds Where my head resides most days And I watched you walk along the edge of the rocks Swaying back and forth The light bouncing off the tree tops Silhouetting your figure And just like that Like a beautiful mirage you were gone like a ghost that haunts A ghost that lingers close by to watch everything unfold In silence
