Waiting for the tide to go out,

Waiting for my ship to come in,

I don’t know what my plan was,

I don’t know what my plan was,

But I know this wasn’t it

I can’t remember how I got here,

I’ve forgotten everything I’ve ever learned,

I don’t know if I can move on,

I don’t know how to move on,

And I’m tired of wondering

Draw the blinds, blow out the candles,

Slam the door and never open it again,

How much longer can you wait,

To step outside into a new day,

You’ve waited long enough,

It has to be enough

Spend a year just going through the motions,

Pack it up, throw it into the ocean,

I’ve been living my life on mute,

Watching everyone’s mouth move,

I laid down til the tide caught up with my toes,

Then I got up and I walked home,

I saw it coming the whole time,

I shouldn’t have been surprised,

A pep talk two feet from the bathroom mirror,

An impulse to be anywhere but here,

Every song I know about not giving up,

Just keep trying and worrying it’s not enough,

A late night phone call with an old friend,

Someone new to fall in love with,

Just give me something, I don’t care what,

And it has to be enough.
