My Songs

Boat

Verse 1:

The waves are crashing on the edge of the shore
My heart is racing like it never did before
Time has pass so fast, reminding me that life is short
My lungs can't handle all the pressure anymore

That's when you come around
One look and I start acting like a clown
Rumors spread so fast in this small town
On what we both lost and what we had found

That's when you break away
Telling me, "We'll see each other again another day"
I got on my knees and begged you to stay
But you just sailed away

Chorus:

Could not swim through the ocean
So I walked along the sand
I tried to find what was left of you
By following in your footsteps
But you were already out of view
And that tore me to shreds
So I waited as long as I could
Until you would show
Cause I know you'll come back for me
On the big, old boat

Verse 2:

Years and years had passed
Never once did I question or ask
Why you raised the sail on that mast
Leaving behind all of your past

That's when you came back
Different in a way I didn't expect
Shattered in pieces like glass
You were falling just as fast

Chorus:

Could not swim through the ocean
So I walked along the sand
I tried to find what was left of you
By following in your footsteps
But you were already out of view
And that tore me to shreds
So I waited as long as I could
Until you would show
Cause I know you'll come back for me
On the big, old boat

Bridge:

The world is a horrible place
I'll give you your time and space
If you need me, don't hesitate
I'll help you get past all your darkest days

The skies are clear and blue
Yet a storm rages inside of you
So let's get away from here and go
Somewhere on that big, old boat

Chorus:

Could not swim through the ocean
So I walked along the sand
I tried to find what was left of you
By following in your footsteps
But you were already out of view
And that tore me to shreds
So I waited as long as I could
Until you would show
Cause I know you'll come back for me
On the big, old boat
