Why is it

we look to the sky every night

and wish upon a star

that is millions of miles away

when yet we have ones right here

that we can touch?

How are we supposed to cope

When you are the boat and I am the rope

Holding on so slightly

While you continue to pull away

What happens when the rope finally breaks?

Do you drift out to sea,

Or stay where you're at?

The tides are changing

You can feel it in the waters

You're ever so lightly swaying

And Im about to give out.

Do you ever look at the stars and think
out of everything in this universe
how can one single person
still hang in our dreams
and stay in our mind
when all else
is moving
but you're standing still.

Do you ever wish you could just get up and go.

Get in the car
No looking back
escape the reality
of which so many become engulfed in.

Throw caution to the wind
and d r i v e

Away from all of the cookie cutter lives
of the people made of paper

Who just don't *understand

Take me to the coast

Take me far away from the lights and the cities.

Take me where the sand meets the water,
where the tide sleeps.

Take me far into the surf until I can't feel my feet,
and drown in the darkness.

Because unlike the rest of us, the ocean is yet to be discovered

And that's why its the only place we can feel truly free
