I don’t know you but I want you,
all the more for that.
Words fall through me

and always fool me
and I can’t react.

And games that never amount
to more than they’re meant
will play themselves out…

Take this sinking boat

and point it home,
we’ve still got time.
Raise your hopeful voice,

you have a choice
you’ll make it now.

Falling slowly, eyes that know me,
and I can’t go back.
And moods that take me and erase me
and I’m painted black.

Well, you have suffered enough
and warred with yourself,
it’s time that you won…

Take this sinking boat and point it home,
we’ve still got time.
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
you’ll make it now.

Falling slowly, sing your melody,
I’ll sing it loud.

now you’re gone…
