We’re riding the wave in our finest boat.
Not sure of our destination but we’re not worried because we’re together

Up & down we go riding the Ocean waves
Tide after tide, pushing against the current

Back & forth we are drifting...
until it’s not only the sea that’s making us sick

My love for you overwhelming
I am willing to die for you
But you don’t feel the same

So now... instead of going against the current we’re going against each other
...drowning out each other with our voices as loud as the thunder in the sky

You throw your words like spears they pierce my heart & I feel the pain of you pulling away from me

The current is drifting us further apart

I thought my love was enough to save you
To save us
But how can you save something that doesn’t wanna be saved?
Someone who doesn’t wanna be saved...

This anchor isn’t strong enough to hold the boat tipping against the current
The water raises & I figure this is the final straw ...

I would throw you a lifeline but you would let me drown
So in despair I choose myself

You ruined me but you saved me.
