I washed up on the shore You were already standing there Like you were expecting me You made me feel warm again I could feel the sun burning my neck As I turned around and followed you into the forest It was like a warning The sun trying its best to make me stay But I couldn't resist And you led me deeper in It was so dark I remember falling asleep And when I woke up You were already gone I stumbled around in the dark Time went by I thought I saw the shore Where it all began I rushed my steps My blood started pumping faster In a hurry towards the light A twig scratched my left arm I didn't feel any pain But then I saw the blood First just a few drops Then my arm was all covered I kept on running Faster and faster The light was getting dimmer But I could smell the ocean now And then I was there I was too late The sun was setting I could barely see it shining Behind some tall buildings That weren't there before The sun disappeared And so did I

Bright Shores, Dark Forests and Tall Buildings
I washed up on the shore You were already standing there Like you were expecting me You made me feel warm again I could feel the sun burning my neck As I turned around and followed you into the forest It was like a warning The sun trying its best to make me stay But I couldn't resist And you led me deeper in It was so dark I remember falling asleep And when I woke up You were already gone I stumbled around in the dark Time went by I thought I saw the shore Where it all began I rushed my steps My blood started pumping faster In a hurry towards the light A twig scratched my left arm I didn't feel any pain But then I saw the blood First just a few drops Then my arm was all covered I kept on running Faster and faster The light was getting dimmer But I could smell the ocean now And then I was there I was too late The sun was setting I could barely see it shining Behind some tall buildings That weren't there before The sun disappeared And so did I
