Right now the water is calm
There’s no turbulence, no rigid edges
But when you decide that this isn’t right
and you move on
I’ll be caught in between your walls
Because I know on the outside
you push people away
but on the inside you want someone to love you
someone to hold you and someone to tell you it’s okay.

But that’s not me, I’m not the one
who’s going to hold your hand and pull you along the way
You have to decide for yourself
Follow me with a risk of drowning
or stay afloat and crash with the waves
onto the inflexible shore
But beware, there is a storm coming
and it demands a change.

The water has lost it’s tranquility
the waves, they’re picking up.
and to you I’ll shout “Follow me.”
with a plea in my voice
But there’s no will or desire in your eyes, I get it.
You want to stay.

My heart ached for days
and my lungs were filled with water.
My mind raged on until I was there no longer.
The tide had carried my body
and the wind had carried my soul.
How’d this happen?
How did I let you slip away from me?

The storm continued to fight on
carrying us farther and farther apart
I could breathe easy now
for the truth had set in
I was willing to change
But it was you that really mattered

I had found my out of the storm
and fresh air made it’s way to my sopping sponge lungs
i could feel the power, the relief
as my eyes scanned the horizon
for the boy I lost at sea
