The sea is dark and cold, it vows to drag us down
Our feet forget the touch of peace and solid ground
We're barely floating now, we can't keep up this pace
Something must sink away
For you, I'd sink away
We've clawed so desperately for a future out of reach
To keep our heads above the truth beneath our feet
I know we're only now prolonging what awaits
Love shapes a heartless fate
For you, I'll sink away
In this pain, an island stands
With warm and white inviting sands
I wish that somehow I could reach this place
But the more I swim, the more I see
I simply just can never be
Living all the dreams I planned to make
Still, I'll fall unafraid
So you don't sink away
The panic's rising in me, like the tugging tide
But promised calmer waters lay my doubts aside
Hope lifts my weighted mind and though my heart will break
Love's left within my wake
That cannot sink away
In this pain, an island rests
Where all I want is safely kept
I wish that somehow I could reach this place
But the more I swim, the more I see
I simply just can never be
So I'll drown with the dreams I planned to make
And I'll fall unafraid
So you don't sink away
The quiet rushes in, the roaring waves subside
And I feel a calm I've never known before
Who knew a heart could beat the doubt deep down that lays inside
When it beats for something more
I finally see the shore
In this pain, an island rests, where all I loved are safely kept
Somehow I've found myself here in its place
And the more I see, the less I grieve
I fade away so you can be
Living all the dreams you planned to make
And you'll live unafraid
I know you'll be okay
For you, I'd sink...
