you can keep me at arm's length if you want to
i'll be right here by your fingertips
and you can ignore what is and always has been
i'll still be waiting for you

this is truth decreed and arranged
though i've wandered my own paths of sorrow
ever more i know that this is what's real
and that nothing has or will change

so you can set me adrift if you want to
and i'll eke out an existence alone
but the message in this bottle won't fade
and one day it will return to you
