We danced the night away.

Now,just a swirling of echoes
are in my head.

I thought I could hold on
maybe this time a little tighter.

You swam ashore from a place
I'd never known before.

I thought I was rescuing you, but
you were rescuing me.

Turn the light low. The contours
of your face will never leave my mind.

If I'd close my eyes then
you could never leave.

Holding through the tide.
Gasping for breath will never stop.

My lungs like my heart have
run out of time.
