So many things that I’d wish people knew So many things I’d rather hide away  Throwing my hands up in surrender  As I fall to my back against the beach Watching the stars make love to the universe  Watching myself dance to fate’s melody  I’d like to tell myself to remember  That I should live life sober  That hurting is not the way out  That pain isn’t the only feeling I know  To not listen to the sea breeze’s calling To not walk into the ocean’s embrace  Even if I end up at the bottom of the seabed again  Even if all I can do is drown in my memories again  I’d like to tell myself to remember There’s me waiting on the shore  Waiting for my reflection to get back up  Patiently waiting, till I get back up

So many things that I’d wish people knew So many things I’d rather hide away  Throwing my hands up in surrender  As I fall to my back against the beach Watching the stars make love to the universe  Watching myself dance to fate’s melody  I’d like to tell myself to remember  That I should live life sober  That hurting is not the way out  That pain isn’t the only feeling I know  To not listen to the sea breeze’s calling To not walk into the ocean’s embrace  Even if I end up at the bottom of the seabed again  Even if all I can do is drown in my memories again  I’d like to tell myself to remember There’s me waiting on the shore  Waiting for my reflection to get back up  Patiently waiting, till I get back up
