Taken By The Sea
love, lay me downslay me with whispersreassure me that it’s alrightI, I hit the deck, I hit rock bottombut you saw me, then you caught meshining like a ray of hopeswift like a turning seaangel to comfort mecradling my head in your handsI looked up at the sunand the fog cleared, I saw you
and I want you and that’s so terrifyingand I want you to help put out the firecause I am an island, you are the oceanand all of my sadness taken by the sea
fall, I took a fallI took it easyon the surface I was perfectbut down, way down belowI started believingI deserved itwas I worthlesssinking like a rescue boatwashing right over mevessel is strugglingwaving both my hands in the airthen the blindness of lovethen your arms all around me
and I want you and that’s so terrifyingand I want you to help put out the firecause I am an island, you are the oceanand all of my sadness taken by the sea
and I want so much to believethat I won’t disappear in the waterthat I won’t always be swimming against the tide
and I want you and that’s so terrifyingand I want you to help put out the firecause I am an island and you are the oceanand all of my sadness taken by the sea, the seaI am an island, you are the oceanall of my sadness taken by the sea
