We watched the sunset fade across the water where we lay

Aimless drifting softly, no sight of land

I still remember how the starlight danced across your face

As I held you close and we slipped further out

Waves crash over me

They pull you under

Filling up your lungs with salt and sea

I could be your breath

I'd be your oxygen

If you would only take my hand

The storm rose as we slept

Leaving us stranded in the depths

We held tightly to the wreckage and hoped for the dawn

Our last flare lit the sky as hope fell from your eyes

Waves crash over me

They pull you under

Filling up your lungs with salt and sea

I could be your breath

I'd be your oxygen

If you would only take my hand

The angry waters consume us

Dissolve and wash us away

The dark gave way to dawn just as I carried you to shore

You died there in my arms and there was nothing left to say

Waves crash over me

They pull me under

Filling up my lungs with salt and sea

You could be my breath

You'd be my oxygen

If you would only take my hand
