lyrics

Alone at sea, you’re there with me.

I jump overboard and you pursue, but not to rescue

I get back to the boat, pull the anchor in and sail away.

During my retreat, I fall asleep.

I wake up from a dream. Anger and fear, are you here?

Turns out you were my anchor all along; I can’t get away.

Let your anchor go and cut the rope.

Don’t let it choke, allow yourself to float.

Steer your own boat.

I reach the shore, alone once more.

Find a cave and crawl inside, a good place to hide…

Light a match, sparks to a flame to start my fire.

As the fuel burns, somehow you return.

Just like a bug taking flight toward the light.

Cover it up ‘til every last ember dies and the fire’s gone.

If you play with heat and beggars come to your feet.

They’re incomplete, you don’t have to bleed.

You’re in the driver’s seat.
