lyrics

Day after day, I've been falling forward into the past
Day after day, I've been falling forward toward the sea
I found a place in my head
& it's been raining since the day I left that Northern Stay
Now I'm stuck here waiting for the sun to show

I found myself lost in a great divide
I was wrong all along & you were right
I always seem to runaway from every mistake I ever make
Leaving myself waiting forever & a day
Feeling so alone
Feeling so goddamn low

Day after day, I still can't escape & I've been falling further into the sea
I remember those words you once told me, just to "let it be"
I know I'm not a sailor, but I'd sail the seven seas for you
For a way to find a reason why I should still believe

I still believe in a thing that they call hope
I'm just trying to convince myself to refrain from hanging on a rope,
but who am I kidding?
I'm afraid to meet death
I'm afraid of the unknown
Once again you were right, I'm a coward
& maybe I'll find the courage to get out of this god awful mess that I'm in

I'm sorry for leaving you behind dear
I'm sorry for everything

They say, "What's an anchor without it's sea?"
My dear, you are like the sea to me
