I was standing on the shore,            waiting With my toes buried in the sand                             waiting Thinking that the tide will take me in                                              waiting And my heart would drift on in.      T  h  e  n    I    m  e  t    y  o  u  . You came as a wave, tumbling, rushing towards me,              crash Hurtling and strengthening 'til you swallowed me whole.                            crash You snatched me in, pulling me deeper and deeper,                                          crash Until I lost myself in the ecstatic sea.     A  n  d    t  h  e  n    y  o  u    w  e  r  e    g  o  n  e  . I was stranded, so deep, in the ocean, so still.               breaking Your wave had engulfed me and now I was drowning,                                    breaking Falling, sinking down into a sea of melancholy.                                                         breaking My heart, oh, my soul.  Cracked, torn into pieces.     I    w  a  s    l  o  s  t    a  t    s  e  a  .

Lost At Sea
I was standing on the shore,            waiting With my toes buried in the sand                             waiting Thinking that the tide will take me in                                              waiting And my heart would drift on in.      T  h  e  n    I    m  e  t    y  o  u  . You came as a wave, tumbling, rushing towards me,              crash Hurtling and strengthening 'til you swallowed me whole.                            crash You snatched me in, pulling me deeper and deeper,                                          crash Until I lost myself in the ecstatic sea.     A  n  d    t  h  e  n    y  o  u    w  e  r  e    g  o  n  e  . I was stranded, so deep, in the ocean, so still.               breaking Your wave had engulfed me and now I was drowning,                                    breaking Falling, sinking down into a sea of melancholy.                                                         breaking My heart, oh, my soul.  Cracked, torn into pieces.     I    w  a  s    l  o  s  t    a  t    s  e  a  .
