The water's edge
Is where she waits
Lost souls still wandering
Meant to die
But she's stuck not crossing over
Most people don't return to the places where they almost died. Most of
the time they do their absolute best to never go anywhere near the
place again. But after i almost drowned in the sea, all i ever wanted
was to go back.
It became the one place i felt safe. I never went into the water, but
the sound of crashing waves and the sand underneath my toes calmed me.
Whenever i ran away, it was to the coast. Whenever i ran away it was
to gaze into the horizon, watching it, being pulled towards it, but
never touching the water.
The other side
Is where he waits
His spirit reaching out
Meant to save
But she's too scared
To take his hand
Someone saved me that day. He dove into the water and pushed me out of
the rip tide. He put me on his back and swam out of it. He kept
telling me to kick, but i couldn't. I was too scared to help.
I remember salt water splashing in my face. I can remember his voice.
Even when waves crashed over our heads he tried to be calm, tried to
keep me calm.
Living in a world without you
Drowning in the past
Is living in no word at all
So now i call on you
All i ever learned about him was his name, after the coroner
identified him. I didn't know why he bothered to go out into the water
to save a girl who went to deep. I had never met him before, but he
was handsome, even when he was coughing up water in a desperate
attempt at life when we hit the shore. If it hadn't been for that last
wave, he would have lived.
Remember me
I gave you life
You would not take it
Your suffering
Was all in vain
It's almost over now
Don't turn your back on paradise
His name appears everywhere in my life now. I can hear the waves
whispering it at the ocean, calling my name too. It hurts to be alive
when i know how much he gave up for me. He had a life, he was going to
