taken by the sea

love

lay me down

slay me with whispers

reassure me that it's alright

i

i hit the deck

i hit rock bottom

but you saw me

then you caught me

shining like a ray of hope

swift like a turning sea

angel to comfort me

cradling my head in your hands

i looked up at the sun

and the fog cleared

i saw you

and i want you and that's so terrifying

and i want you to help put out the fire

cause i am an island

you are the ocean

and all of my sadness taken by the sea

fall

i took a fall

i took it easy

on the surface i was perfect

but down

way down below

i started believing

i deserved it

was i worthless

sinking like a rescue boat

washing right over me

vessel is struggling

waving both my hands in the air

then the blindness of love

then your arms all around me

and i want you and that's so terrifying

and i want you to help put out the fire

cause i am an island

you are the ocean

and all of my sadness taken by the sea

and i want so much to believe

that i won't disappear in the water

that i won't always be swimming against the tide

and i want you and that's so terrifying

and i want you to help put out the fire

cause i am an island and you are the ocean

and all of my sadness taken by the sea

the sea

i am an island

you are the ocean

all of my sadness taken by the sea
