Sail Away

I don't need to write it down, I've known these lines by heart for years But everytime I try they seem to lack a certain elegance Anyway I wanted you to know that I'll be staying in this year Cause I believe you're better off without me here I'm sinking You're fading This ship's been lost at sea I'm drowning You're leaving That's how it is Treading water's never been a thing for me So long it's been a very good year And I know it takes a lifetime to repay All I ever wanted was to sail away, oh But I got caught up in the waves along the way Thought I found myself, had a bucketful, and threw it all away So long, it's all gone now This year, yeah, I spent it all I only did it to prove I could So long it's been a very good year And I know it takes a lifetime to repay All I ever wanted was to sail away, oh But I got caught up in the waves along the way I'm sinking You're fading This ship's been lost at sea I'm drowning You're leaving That's how it is Treading water's never been a thing for me So long it's been a very good year And I know it takes a lifetime to repay All I ever wanted was to sail away To find another place where I can stay All I ever wanted was to sail away, oh But I got caught up in the waves along the way
