Standing on the shore watching our ship go down, Sinking in the sand and I can't turn round, The future's looking black and it's a sight to see, Just a thousand grey waves crashing over me, Just a thousand grey waves breaking over me. How it's happening to me Why can't I ever see? Am I gonna let you leave without a sound? Watching till you're out of sight, Dreaming I did something right, Standing on my own again. Water in my lungs and it's a pain to breathe, Salt is in my eyes and it's a pain to see, I can't stand the pressure and you think I can, Just don't wanna see you going down the pan, Just don't wanna see you going down the pan. How it's happening to me Why can't I ever see? Am I gonna let you leave without a sound? Watching till you're out of sight, Dreaming I did something right, Standing on my own again.
