Keep watch
With eyes that that scan the sea
Shore lost, drifting like a leaf
Hope dashed right before my eyes
Endless blue
Endless night
You've got to hurt before you heal
You've got to earn a heart of steel
You've got to float before you learn to swim
I was only only trying not to sink
I was only trying
Three days
Not a breath of wind
First rays setting on my skin
Landless, I'm deeper than I think
Push me out
Or pull me in
You've got to hurt before you heal
You've got to earn a heart of steel
You've got to float before you learn to swim
I was only only trying not to sink
I was only trying
I was only only trying not to sink
I was only trying
And I watch my guiding star
As it plunges to the dark
I wish I'd thrown my heavy heart
To break the water
Break my fall
You've got to hurt before you heal
You've got to earn a heart of steel
You've got to float before you learn to swim
And I was only trying not to laugh before I cry
You've got to live before you die
You've got to float
Before you learn to swim
I was only trying not to sink
