I once compared you to the shipping forecast
A soothing distraction for an unsettled mind
But this was not a low
You were the one who left me drowning
Threw me a lifebelt and a shark whistle
And told me to save myself
He was the one who never gave up the search
Found me and hoisted me to dry land.
I lost myself in you and can't get myself back
My soul like so many pieces of driftwood
Carried away on the waves
All out at sea.

Was listening to Blur's This Is A Low and thought about the someone who had let me down. Took the shipping forecast analogy from the song but this is the very opposite. He was a comforting campanion, like listening to the shipping forecast but when the storm hit he could not (or would not) help.
