lyrics

We set sail on a sunny day in August We hugged our families goodbye and cried Life’s too short we said to stay at the dock our whole lives We tried to keep that sun in the sky But it fades always The sea swallowed us whole that winter But it’s just pretend I’ll be the sails if you’ll be the anchor Sometimes I just wanna fly away Puffed up with ambition To fleeting for anything meaningful You’re my conscience you’re my lifeline You’re the only thing giving me hope in this whole damn town We sunk down to the ocean floor As the tides raged above You shut yourself in your cabin to drown alone while I gathered our bones I tried to convince you to follow But you stayed, you always stay So we sat there on the ocean floor But it’s just pretend I’ll be the sails if you’ll be the anchor Sometimes I just wanna drag you through the mud Too stubborn and callous to grasp onto anything meaningful You’re emotionless oh you’re boring You’re the only holding me back In this whole damn town Screaming at the ocean never got me very far Praying for an answer, a way to survive I poured myself out to the sea But it’s always been underneath me Eyes trained at the horizon all along, but it’s always been underneath me I’ll be the sails if you’ll be the anchor Sometimes I just wanna slash the rope Yours or mine I don’t care, Grasp onto anything meaningful You’re my anchor you’re my anchor Yet you’re the only thing holding me up in this whole damn town
