I feel so tired I could sleep till the end This bed like an anchor As the sea closes in And I feel so lost That I can't even breathe Your memory the pillow That is smothering me You left me you left me this song Scrawled on paper and envelopes You left me you left me this song Scrawled on paper and envelopes I was blindsided I had no way to know No we weren't happy But I thought that's how love goes And I feel so angry Your voice rings in my ears Who gets the pardon From the last 20 years? You left me you left me this song Scrawled on paper and envelopes You left me you left me this song Scrawled on paper and envelopes And I could forget you Move on and stand clear But I won't forgive you For leaving me here You left me you left me this song Scrawled on paper and envelopes You left me you left me this song Scrawled on paper and envelopes Scrawled on paper and envelopes

I've never met anyone like you You're a once in a lifetime find And I've never seen Such longing and sadness Hidden behind closed eyes Apart from mine Found one of your paper planes Sent it flying on it's way Out the window of a train It'll make it's way It'll make it's way It'll make it's way Back to you someday. I'm boarding a train Just south of Virginia I'm waiting for deep sunrise And I think of you In sudden downpours When driving through snow and ice Found one of your paper planes Sent it floating on it's way Out the window of a train It'll make it's way It'll make it's way It'll make it's way Back to you someday. I've never met anyone like you You're a once in a lifetime find And I've never seen Such longing and sadness Hidden behind closed eyes Apart from mine

I ran away to an island Built up a castle in white sand Set my whole life to remote and Breathed a sigh of relief I ran away to a new life Looking for something that felt right Making my way in the half-light I was a real sight to see I feel I'm losing myself I am in irons Torn out to sea I wonder if you can tell When will you notice There's nothing left but deep blue sea. I towed the line till the rope's end Hoping to find a break to mend I found only dashed expectations And an anchor secured by debris I feel I'm losing myself I am in irons Torn out to sea I wonder if you can tell When will you notice There's nothing left but deep blue sea. There's nothing left...

Say it again like you mean it I'm awake now but I can still feel it Hot breath on my cheeks that will dry all my tears Say it again like you only Promised me you'd always hold me Words in my ears are meant only for me You're lost You're found Your arms are around me I'm safe I'm loved Your body surrounds me The sun won't sleep and sneaks through my window And I wake up and lose you again I wake up and lose you again Touch me again like you want me Your fingers so real that they haunt me Lines down my spine that go straight to the bone Tell me again that you love me And waited your whole life to find me But when I awaken I'm always alone You're lost You're found Your arms are around me I'm safe I'm loved Your body surrounds me The sun won't sleep and sneaks through my window And I wake up and lose you again I wake up and lose you again

I'm glad no one's here Just me by the sea I'm glad no one's here To mess it up for me But man I wish I had a hand to hold. I saw an old starfish On the side of a rock I poked on his back And tried to pull him off A crab scared me away He ran close to my toe But man I wish I had a hand to hold I'm in the habit of being along I try hard to break it I can't on my own I'm glad no one's here Just me by the sea I'm glad no one's here To mess it up for me But man I wish I had a hand to hold.
