Openwater
Going in search of nowhere, just some place to hide, from these omnipresent problems,
I just can't hide from life.
You set sail under cover of the darkness,
By the early light I knew that you had gone,
In search of new horizons, where the sky melts in the sea.
I followed in the hope that I could catch you
And convince you our directions were the same,
That we could steer the same journey across the oceans,
Fly our flags together in a heaven full of stars,
But you blew out the water the first chance that you had.
If you want me, you know exactly where I am,
Adrift in open water, I'm gazing at the stars I'll be gazing at the stars.
I went down with all hands in the morning;
I was clinging to the wreckage of a dream,
Praying for a rescue that I knew would never come,
I watched your sails disappear into the distance;
I saw my life in the currents floating by,
I was left to the mercy of the four winds and the tides,
To carry me to shorelines where sea and sands collide,
If you want me, you know exactly where I am, adrift in open water,
I'll be gazing at the stars, I'll be gazing at the stars.
You said more in the things you didn't say,
I told you that I loved you and I meant it,
We were heading for the rocks; we'd reached the point of no return,
One day I will manage to forget you, one day I will get you out of my mind,
Delete the photographs, the images, the numbers on the phone,
The messages you sent me that I held on for so long,
If you want me, you know exactly where I am, sailing open waters,
I'll be gazing at the stars, I'll be gazing at the stars.
