International Waters

you hug me the tightest in your deepest sleep

so it's me that you hold but her that you need

or her that you chase, me that you caught

a weary reminder I'm something you're not

how did I fall for a heart that's rotten

I was drowning alone but haven't forgotten

I was a ship with an unsteady course

and boundaries are drawn but hard to enforce

it hurts to remember I'm a wise man's daughter

I got no business international waters

I always told myself this isn't a crime

chalked it up to just killing time

but all of that changes the night that you cried

I looked at you & began to realize

dangerous how you came home and said

you'd be there for me 'til the very end

who says that and means it and drifts back to shore

left me in the deep end

told me to explore

well I'm gone

how did I fall for a heart that's rotten

I was drowning alone but haven't forgotten

I was a ship with an unsteady course

and boundaries are drawn but hard to enforce

It hurts to remember I'm a wise man's daughter

I got no business international waters

now I'm further away and hindsight would tell

is there enough room for us both in hell?

I'm watching you watch me

sink back into reality

it stings like salt it burns like sun

for a moment I swore you'd be the one

but I see you drifting back to land

get down on one knee, ask for her hand

that's the problem with loving an ocean

fun for a while but it stays in motion

a sinking ship full of sinners

you left me at sea but I'm a strong swimmer

how did I fall for a heart that's rotten

I was drowning alone but haven't forgotten

I was a ship with an unsteady course

and boundaries are drawn but hard to enforce

It hurts to remember I'm a wise man's daughter

I got no business international waters
